What kind of self respecting pilot really needs to care if another pilot has 2 or 3 bags?

Also, uniformed crew are actually exempt from the 2 bag rule. I dont know the exact reference, but its in the regs and company policies. Out of uniform an agent can make you check one, however not for a fee.

Would really love it if you could find out a reference. I’d love to go show that agent in Chicago next time I’m there and not trying to get home for Christmas.

There's no FAR that says you can only have 2 bags. What the FAR says is that you should reference the Weight and Balance manual of the airline. Airlines just like to throw that ball in the FAA court instead of taking responsibility for being the 2 bag limiters.

Straighten your hat, this ain’t the 60s anymore.

The best are the FOs that bring homemade beef jerky to share...

And you always have 5-10 people no show. First time fliers who get to the airport thinking 45 minutes prior to push is plenty at places like ATL.

Going in December I left my house a full 3 hrs prior for the NK flight out of LAX. Drive to airport is 20 minutes. Took me 1:45 to make it to terminal. LAX is an absolute standstill sh**show entering the airport area, and the same standstill once inside the horseshoe. I didn’t even have time to drop car at the employee lot. I was only off 2 days so parked it in terminal 5 parking at LAX which is $40/day. Even parking like that and waking to the terminal, we got to gate about 40 minutes before departure. Barely made it!

Lesson learned for holiday period at LAX!
