Is it just me or does it not seem very odd that an FA is on FT grumping at some of AC's best passengers about following rules??

In any case, I can't see why an employee would come onto a forum to vent about passenger behaviour. Can't be good optics for AC whetever the legitimicay and justification for the venting.

While >95% of the AC staff (whether CI agents, GAs or FAs) I encounter are somewhere between decently friendly and excellent (one major reason why Iīm loyal to AC ), I think the OPīs attitude is somewhat worrying.

I may be ignorant, but by POV on this is:

- when travelling in Y Iīll do my very best to limit myself to 1 rollaboard (laptop usually inside to save space) as we all know how crowded Y is, therefore enforcing the rules makes sense
- when in intīl C I donīt care too much about the restrictions, e.g. 1 rollaboard, 1 laptop bag and a bag for fragile stuff and duty free. (thereīs almost one overhead bin / pax, so who cares?? )

And as mentioned above, I would be very unhappy if a FA came up and started measuring/weighing my hand luggage in C!
I donīt want to sound too self-important, but I find it ridiculous to equally enforce rules on C/status pax and Y pax, just because itīs the rules!
