So now American Airlines plans to charge you $15 for taking on the first piece of checked luggage. What are they thinking? If they are doing this to raise revenues to cover the cost of increased fuel, they need to think again. People are just going to cram everything they possibly can into their carryon and stretch thelimits of the carryon size. So the weight will be nearly the same and we won't have enough room for all the carryons. So then we can all wait in our seat while the last to board try to jigsaw their bag into overhead compartments and then have to have it checked when there is no room. Then we get to wait while they stow it below. Does this make sense to anyone? Just charge everyone an extra 15 bucks just upfront. Because this policy effects even those who don't have luggage...if they normally have small carryons they might not have room the next time they board (unless they are business class in which case they are paying more anyway). I hope the other airlines don't follow suit! Does anyone see the logic in this?
