Are crew exempt from the new FAA rules?
This morning at the airport I saw at least 5 FAs carrying their usual, roll aboard with a personal bag connected to it AND a purse.

When I asked them they had various interesting answers:

1. "I work for the airlines."

2. "I am flying to Hong Kong."

3. "What rules?"

4. "I have no choice. I need this stuff."

5. "I can't check bags."

??????????????????????? I was under the impression that the rules clearly stated, no exceptions.
