No you're not getting it.
MY POINT IS IT ISN'T AN FAA REGULATION. NOWHERE DID I SAY IT ISN'T A POLICY OF SOME AIRLINES, IT JUST ISN'T MANDATED BY THE FAA. YOU CLEARLY JUST MADE UP THE FACT THAT IT IS AN FAA REGULATION TO GIVE MORE POWER TO YOUR POST.
Exactly as I stated in my first post when I came into this thread:

You just chose to be an idiot, and made my point for me. One more time: THE FAA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PPBM, SO YOU ARE WRONG.
Also, you say that they will put your baggage on the flight if you check it at the gate, we are saying there is every possibility they say, fuck you, and decide against re-opening the cargo doors and put your baggage on the next flight. PPBM does not affect this scenario at all, I will re-iterate: the only time the terms of PPBM come into effect are when you check a piece of luggage and do not board the flight. They ABSOLUTELY must remove that piece of luggage before continuing along. It does not in any way shape or form prevent them from putting your luggage on any other flight to the same destination, regardless of whether it is that same day or 5 days from then.
I am especially inclined to think any budget airline such as the ones you fly on, will probably say screw you and decide to toss your crap on the next flight. Why should they give a fuck, you didn't pay for the use of their capacity, and you held up their flight by being waiting to be the very last one on the flight. Just to get yourself a better seat that again you didn't pay them for.
