you're currently allowed a carry-on and a "personal item" like a purse or a small backpack. the carry-on can be stowed, but the personal item has to stay with you in the seat.

getting rid of the carry-on doesn't mean no personal item, it just means you aren't allowed any space in the overhead bin.

I should be entitled to the same amount of space, carry-on space and under seat space, as every other passenger paying for the same class of ticket.

If I chose to not bring two items (or three, or four, as many passengers do because there is no enforcement of rules), I should get to place it in the overhead bins and not have to cramp my feet.
