Yep. FAA fines airlines if they don't implement. No win situation. I actually got to the bottom of it to prove my point and found out that sometimes airlines pass on the fines to gate agents of they are not monitoring which I think of unfair. Then I decided to just get a new bag.

Well, is it?

This was someone at security?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
