Honestly, how is this at all Congress' business? If an airline wants to cut its own throat with its customers, let them! I fear government "help" far more than I do another airline fee.

That is a perfect example of why the airline industry, as a whole, has never produced a sustainable profit.

I say we weigh the people, and their bags, and hand them a bill. No reason a 200 pound person and a 400 pounder that requires a Shamu harness should pay the same thing

I disagree. Every passenger carries something on to a flight. The fee and the management and enforcement of the fee would be a nightmare for gate and flight attendants. Stop nickel and dime'ing our passengers and charge the revenue in the damn ticket. The check bag fee was BS and forced people to carry on and make DH'ing a nightmare. Charge the appropriate amount for tickets and stop pissing people off. Have any of you got a raise from bag fee revenue, or just your CEO?

The problem is this airline is not cutting their throats fast enough to suit congress so regulating them has the effect of shooting themselves, which is quicker.

U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer wants the federal government to prohibit airlines from charging a fee for carry-on baggage, said The Associated Press.

All together now: "The airlines are <snicker> deregulated".

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

[Broke in CVG]

What does it matter?

$50 ticket and $100 carry on fee = $100 ticket and $50 carry on fee = $150 ticket and $0 carry on fee. They can package it however they want - the end price is the end price.

If you are stupid enough to think a $50 ticket and high carry on fee is a good deal than that's your fault for being an idiot. These are the same people that walk into a car dealership not caring how much the car is only what their monthly payment is.

 

[Mike man]

I think the airlines should charge him a profanity fee...
