That is not quite what the federal law is about. But if the FA insisted, I would take her name and number and would contact Richard Anderson ([email protected] or Richard Anderson, PO Box 20706, Atlanta, Georgia 30320) (and yes as a 4+ million miler, I get personal xmas cards from him every year). There is nothing in Delta's rules that state that coats cannot go overhead. She would be reassigned to training if she pushed it.

Coats should be allowed in the bins only after all roller-board bags have been accommodated. You do NOT have the right to place your coat in the overhead bin if it means someone's roller board gets checked at the gate.

I am a triple double diamond so I don't want other peoples stuff rubbing against my roller board in the overhead and I don't want her sandwich on it either.

Actually, if she is an FO, she should be allowed to keep the sandwich in the overhead, because that way she won't get any of it on my jacket and roller board that she has to keep in her lap.
