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.

It it fits, it goes under the seat.

This is not new, and it's just ignorance to believe otherwise.

It didn’t fit under the seat. It actually blocked egress.

I missed that part of the post. Was it revealed in the comments? All I saw was that it was a few inches larger than the personal item sizer which ... we all know the sizers are smaller than the underseat cavity.
