They should be required to check extra baggage just like the rest of us (especially since it would be gate valet and they would get it back in the jetway). It just irks me that FAs get to bring an unlimited number of bags along when overhead space is so limited.
their view is that the plane is their workspace (which it is) and we are all just temporary interlopers. You think you're entitled to all the overheads, and they disagree. Their stuff got there first.
