1. Neither TSA nor Airlines enforce the "1 carry on 1 personal Item" FAA regulations, People boarded with 3 large bags, plus, in a couple of cases, a pet carrier. If you board in group 2 through 5, forget overhead space.
2. The seat you pay for carries no guarantee that you will be able to sit in it squarely upright. The seat I paid for on Alaska was already partially occupied by the oversize adjacent seat occupier when I boarded. Fortunately, I was on an aisle seat and could sit on the edge partially in the aisle. On a Delta 757 200 there was no leg room and I sat with one Knee protruding into the aisle and the other protruding into the gap between the seats in front of me. The headrest came squarely across my shoulders. No back support for the entire flight.
3. By the time all "preferred, or those needing assistance customers" are boarded, there are less than one third of the passengers, i.e. groups 2 through 5, left to board. Feels like they are penalizing plain old full fare ticket buyers.
4. One airline even boards space available passengers before fare paying passengers. Grrrrr !!
5. What other FAA regulations are they not enforcing ? BEWARE ! The seat you pay for does not guarantee you a seat in which you can plant your bum in the middle of the seat with your legs in front of you.
Travelers beware
