The Prussian;2263014 BTW...Whataburger...you've got a second career in marketing said:Thx.
As an airline pilot, I never dismiss the idea that I might need another job someday.
I say make 1st checked bag free, $10 for "carry-on" over 1 item. That would clear the bins, ensure better on-time results, and prevent last-minute gate checking. There are SO many times we're "Pre-checking" and "gate-checking" bags 10 mins before departure which is hard for the gate, the FA's and the ramp...and we're carrying the bags for free anyway.
Let me know how that works out for you.
Scoott 11 and Whataburger, my apologies at the choice of words I used. I posted my statement as anything Delta or Southwest has the potential at drawing the most crossfire. My statement was not intended to fan the flames. Thank you for pointing out the responsibility in both being a member and a moderator.
Or maybe you need to get off your behind and assist the passengers - the job you were hired to do in the first place!

You are on a pilot board not a baggage handler or ramp agent board. No pilot here was hired to handle bags.
I was not talking about the pilots. Read the thread again. If you don't understand it ask your captain.
As for not pilot being hired to handle bags ask some of the United hires who had to work in a non-pilot position prior to flying the line!
You used the word "you" when posting to another poster about getting off his or her's bottom. I'm guessing no one "had" to work as a baggage handler prior to being hired as a pilot. Just to make sure I'll ask my captain...lol.
If you were trying to say that as an airline "we" (the airline) should take care of the passengers needs when they buy a ticket on "our" (the airline) airline, then I agree with you. As far a bag fee's, I think they are a great option for the customer. Insted of everyone paying for checked bags in the ticket, you (the paying passenger) only pay for one if you want to. Every airline charges for checked bags, only some give you the option to not have a bag and not pay for everyone elses.
I didn't have time to show my captain this post, so i'm sure there are spelling and gramatical errors. lol

Maybe the pilots can get some money back!
Hey Rangers-
Go back and look at who shon7 was talking to...."B727FA"
Making sense yet?![]()
He's a Delto pilot, needs it explained in a pop-up book. :nuts:
If I was Chief for a day, I would charge $1/bag.
50 bags per flight per day (3200 flights) equals $160,000/day.
My add campain:
"Buck it, bags no longer free."
"It's only a dollar for buck sake."
"It's time to buck you like all the other airlines are doing."
"Time to buck all yall."
Or maybe you need to get off your behind and assist the passengers - the job you were hired to do in the first place!
