Isn't that against federal regulations, anyway? I mean, they do the whole spiel before every flight on every airline...seatbelt on, tray-table fastened, seats in the upright and locked position, carry-on luggage either in the overhead compartment or all the way under the seat in front of you...
They don't let you have stuff out, unless it's a jacket, book, magazine, food, drink, etc.

You may have stuff out until the plane is landing, unsafe such as turbulence, taking off, parking, or taxiing. At some point passengers are told to put seats backs up, trays locked, all luggage and stuff must be in the bin or the seat in front of you, etc. Until that time a person can sprawl out and put stuff on seats. It is rude to declare a seat taken and I will sit on stuff.

You can have it out until the door is closed or close to it...people do this on SW during the boarding process to scare off others because it's open seating, then stow everything quickly when the flight is ready to actually leave.
Another good game is "Unite the Couple." Many couples will sit window and aisle, hoping no one takes the middle. But if there are no other good seats, a person will take the middle on the assumption that one member of the couple will switch with them so they can be next to each other.
Mr. Syndrome likes the window to look out and I like the aisle for easy restroom access. Thus when people play "Unite the Couple" with us, they lose and end up staying in the middle. We are courteous and don't lean over them to talk or anything, but we won't move. It cracks me up that couples who live together 24/7 can't stand to be separated by one seat for the length of a flight. I'm secure enough in my marriage to risk it!
