For the record, I didn't miss your point, I just know you have complained about lack of space for your bag when you purposefully board last. You play the game, you take your chances.

That could be the case for any bag. There are tons of bags on every plane that don't need to be up top, they could very easily have been checked.

I have said there is always space for a DM MMer to fit a bag if you look around the jet hard enough.
And again you did miss my point as I often put my laptop bag under MY feet to free up space for another passenger. What I said in this thread was in 1st if the middle is open I too ASK before I just grab the space!

The point is that even in FC, it's a point of courtesy if you have two bags to keep the smaller one at your feet at least until the FC has fully boarded. Probably 8/10 times that I do this, I'm still able to toss my backpack up there with no issues after everyone else has gotten their rollaboards tucked away.

To be fair, isn't this kind of a first come, first served scenario? It's certainly polite to ask about the overlapping space, but I wouldn't qualify this as 'disgusting'.[/QUOTE]
I agree, in practice the space under an empty middle is first come, first served.

I'd say you get half and half. In some planes when I am in an FC aisle I can't fit my bag under the aisle space, but I can fit it on my half of the middle space (i.e. the bag doesn't extend past the power outlets, which are generally in the exact middle of the seating area). I think this may be the case on the new 739s. On others, it won't fit on my half of the middle space so I usually ask if it's okay that it will take up some of the window seat's area.

If Nicole's goal was public humiliation, then mission accomplished. If she were after points, a DM would have been more appropriate. I would be curious to know the FA's response. This must be a first. I've heard of this in hotels, but on a plane,

Under your logic B passenger could just as well put their bag over in the far left section.
