FtB;
1.8 billion a year is what the US Airline Industry is going to make on bag fees. They are here to stay and WN will be joining us soon. They have to.

The customer is driving these type of decisions. It makes us seem cheep but in reality people shop the first page of these on-line ticket companies. To make a profit and stay there we need to charge for everything.

I am glad that someone too the advice to charge extra to decide to check bags at the airport versus when you check in on line. That is good business.
Last night I saw a guy buy two drinks for 20 bucks a pop. (did not care that each shot in the drink was five bucks) He could have cared less. Point is passengers complain about the bag fees but they pay them and they return. That prove the point that that fee does not change their purchasing patterns.
