Baggage Policy Problem/Question

[BoeingBoy]

You're beating a dead horse. Those that disagree with you will argue it will all kinds of "supporting evidence." Bottom line is about PRICE!!

I don't think anyone will seriously argue that the majority of passengers don't use price as one of the most important criteria. It's that 5% that contribute 15-20% of revenue that has interest in such things as amenities. An airline ignores that 5% at their own peril - for US they represent $1.5-2.0 Billion (with a B) in revenue per year. Without their share of that higher yield revenue US disappears since (like Piney mentioned) US' cost structure depends on getting that revenue.

Later in the hour we practice throwing things at the dolls

Management would never do that.

Too much chance of of a bag bouncing off Doug's head by 'mistake'.

Hey all- heads up--

AA implementing a $50 second checked bag fee on certain international flights, look for others to follow. The race to the bottom just got hotter!
