100% disagree. All she would need is one person to complain the well publicized mask rule wasn't enforced and her job would be in jeopardy. Worse if someone claimed they got sick-I agree very very unlikely. My guess is they have marching orders that these rules are not flexible. Imagine seeing an exception on this flight. A passenger is then on another flight and wants their child not to wear a mask. They need to enforce it or raise the age. However, I wouldn't expect the FA to let it slide.
