CFR, Part 121 OPERATING REQUIREMENTS: DOMESTIC, FLAG, AND SUPPLEMENTAL OPERATIONS, Subpart T--Flight Operations:
So that set of rules applies to carry-on baggage. Is a book or a bottle of water considered to be carry-on baggage?

According to American's website, food or a book are listed as "additional items" that can be brought on the plane in addition to a carry-on bag and personal item. But it sounds like maybe there was an FAA opinion that essentially anything a passenger brings on board counts as "baggage". Is there a link to that opinion anywhere?
