According to the linked article in the OP:
“
American told customer service managers this week by memo that “[t]he FAA issued a notification to American Airlines indicating [they] are failing to comply with [their] carry-on baggage program parameters.”
In response the airline “committed to increase the number of self-audits at each mainline station” starting November 1.”
