Perhaps there are issues in having 'sold' all the bin space to passengers there is only the space in front of the seat left available to you. Would you have any idea how many bags of Ryanair's stated size they can stow in the overhead lockers?
Big Bins (2002 onwards) 125
Pivot Bins (2010) 132 bags
Space Bins (2015) 194
At one point Ryanair were guaranteeing 90 bags in the cabin. I think the numbers you have listed are for the -900ER/-9MAX. Google suggests 174 for the Space Bins compared to
118 for the Pivot bins for the -800/-8MAX. The big innovation is getting bags on their short side, rather than flat. 174 would seems a realistic number even for very full FR flights.
