CHICAGO, March 27 (Reuters) - American Airlines, a unit of AMR Corp (AMR.N: Quote, Profile, Research), said on Thursday it may start charging $25 to check a second bag, a move that could spur revenue and cost savings as fuel prices soar.

American, the world's largest airline, said it filed a notice with the Canadian government indicating it may change its bag fee structure in Canada. That country requires 45 days notice to review such a change.

"This filing is only a formality and a decision has not been made by American Airlines to implement a new checked bag fee structure in Canada," a company spokesman said.

If AA were to follow UA, US and DL on this, I can't say it would be a huge shock. UA's had this out for consumption about six weeks now, and there's obviously not enough backlash for them to consider pulling it back.
