Anyways, this just hit me, after reading about southwest and their new "big" policies....
Somewhere around spring break, I was flying back to Ontario, CA on southwest. Checked in my one bag that could easyly pass for a carry-on without a problem, but to conciderate about others, I check it in. But anyways, I get to the gate, 25 mintues to departure, and get plastic card 126, the BROWN group in this case.
I wait for my cattle herd to be called, and walk into the 737-300. I proceed to the back, as all the seats in the front are filled, naturally. I find a few seats in the back, but somehow, other passengers felt it was ok to use the underseat storage for that seat for themselves. I say to myself, OK, move on to the next seat. Same for the rest of the seats, bleh. So, I proceed to look for some overhead bin space, but they were all full! unbelieavble! other passengers had to have their bags tossed overboard down to some handlers, which really ticked them off.
But anyways, if person can only bring 2 things on board, one bag, and one personal bag (purse, smaller backpack), and theres enough space for each passenger to have one of each of these carry ons, HOW can the bins be filled?
Im declaring late passenger boarind discrimation. Bin hogs can buy another ticket, they are using my space that I should be entitled to.
