Does anyone know if the flight attendants keep their own well-read copy of the pertinent volume of the CFR in the galley?

At a guess, the FAA says that the airlines shall institute procedures for this and that, and what they FAs are calling FAA regs often are really airline policies instituted in accordance with the regs.
And next time you get pissed off that an FA tells you to move your child seat to the window seat, remember that some passenger probably sued the airline because he tripped over his own kid's seat and sprained his ankle when getting up to pee. In other words, it's always the lawyers' fault.
