In my experience, a lot of flights go back and forth between one airport throughout each day, so I would say it should be the exception, not the rule.
Which other businesses hold their employees to the same requirements as their customers? Why should the airline industry? Do flight attendants tell you how to do your job? Do you tell employees of other businesses that you aren't that familiar with how they should do their job or is your judgment restricted to the airline industry? I'm just curious what makes you an expert on what an airline employee should and should not bring to work. I'm certainly not an expert but I have to believe that most people don't bring more to work than they have to.
