and I wholeheartedly agree. I also think it is equally or perhaps even more reasonable for me to have a roll-on, tote and purse, given the 100% guarantee of a long multi-segment trip of 4 days. An FA only needs a uniform the jacket of which he/she will be wearing whereas my business trip may well require busniess, casual and formal wear for my meetings.
If I am required to adhere to an unreasonable rule that I can no longer carry a purse, they should be able to do so as well.
