Not true about being able to spread out bags throughout the cabin unless the Director of Ops is not getting the correct info from AA. Also, he said in his last email that we will not be getting any with additional jumpseats in the back. He never mentioned printers so that's still up in the air as of now.
I'm just going off of the Compass Points email sent a couple of days ago and what MW said in his update section. I'm not making it up.
Where are you getting your info? Are you a flight attendant?

Absolutely not. I'm not an FO, and If this goes into effect, I will not let the FO carry everyones bags down the steps. Everyone will/need to be responsible for their own bags. Flight Attendants included. If that means we all go down to the ramp, so be it.

FO has enough work to do, in addition to keeping me out of trouble. He shouldn't be hauling bags.

Which is funny since they have tried to take away almost every print function we have.

yeah I agree. the only good thing is that dispatch can send our numbers to the printer, that is about it.

It's a shame how cheap they went on these planes. Going to be exciting stowing our bags in the cargo bin. Also going to be nice getting to show up to the airport earlier, just to make it to the remote terminal in LAX.

I'm going to see how long I can make it without flying any of these AA pairings. I'm guessing MSP based pilots won't have to though anyway. Too bad that previous poster's 'rumor' is not true. Wish this flying was never coming our way. Hopefully Envoy guys and gals can have a bone thrown their way soon.

+1, on all. As an ex-rampie, if you pack it, you carry it.

Is stowing bags in an overhead bin an option? Maybe we can have one or two dedicated bins for crew stowage that are lockable. Any other solutions?

Putting your bag in the overhead was no big deal at 9E. Maybe American insists on it being different but im willing to bet when it comes down to it the bags will just be put in the back overhead after about two days of lugging the bags down the stairs.

My understanding is that Republic crews both on AA/US E170 flying keep roller bags in designated overhead bin spots in the cabin. They actually have specific CA/FO/FAA-A/B locations for weight and balance purposes.
