Although I don't think flying is a privilege (they're selling it and you're buying it, after all), I agree with Flight Attendant Julie that raising a fuss about someone's luggage in "your" overhead bin is rash. If the bin door closes, I don't think you'd have much of a case about the oversized bit. And, if it really is too big, an attendant will notice very soon.

That said, getting on a plane is never a pleasant experience, with or withour carryon.

In any case, I fully expect airlines to start charging extra for bin space as soon as they can figure how to keep us cheapskates from using bins we haven't paid for.
