So he could be one of the first on and put his bag in the first overhead he came to allowing him to pick it up at the last minute on the way off, and saving him having to lug it down the aisle to his seat like everyone else. 🙄
What I find so annoying is the guy/gal who jumps up, grabs their overhead bags and rushes forward as far as they can. Now, they are right next to my seat and I can't get up if I wanted to.
They could have stood up probably 30 minutes before the landing decent started. I fly back and forth between Washington and Thailand a few times a years and stand up plenty, but not on landing.
