Anyone else hide your laptop between your back and the seat during takeoff so you can still work, but put your brief case in the overhead?

No. Roller bags belong in the overhead and lap top bags below the seat. If not, you have to sit and wait while they check bags.

Only do this if you don't have a roller bag. Otherwise you're part of the problem

True that. I couldn't care less about BYOD vs built in screen if I had power on those flights.

No, nothing I do can't wait and the reason they have you put stuff up is during turbulence it can become a projectile. Not worth the risk

Yea man. I am doing it at this very moment while the vacationers slowly fill up the plane.

Some planes under seat storage doesn't always fit bags with the little electronics boxes... Regardless I put my laptop in the back of the seat for quick access

Like Southwests live Dish tv

D3 you're kidding right? On my flight to CLT from LA it's BYOD and there are 0 power outlets on board. So either you waste your 2 hour battery on entertainment or work. Then again US airways sucks

The US Airways planes with no power are hardly new planes. But I do like that they redid the old US Airways A319 planes with power and no IFE screens. The underseat space is so much better than on the new Legacy AA A319s

@D3 completely agree
