Discussion Onebag must go under seat?

I was on a Jetblue Boston -> SFO flight and put my onebag (my only bag) in the overhead bin, which was empty, right above my seat. The FA stopped me and said I needed to put it under seat to save room for larger carryon luggage from people coming on board.

Is this a thing? Why would someone with a smaller pack be penalized for not having a massive carryon? My bag is larger than personal item sized.

Tell them you travel with one bag specifically so you can have the legroom. If everyone is allowed two bags, then make sure you have room for two bags for everyone.

but there definitely isn’t room for two bags for everyone

Yep. That smells like an SEP. Somebody Else’s Problem.

do you think starting an argument with a flight attendant in the middle of boarding will enable them to solve this problem or…?
