American Airlines charging for first bag check-in
HEADLINE:
FORT WORTH, Texas - American Airlines will start charging $15 for the first checked bag, cut domestic flights and lay off workers — probably in the thousands — as the nation's largest carrier grapples with record-high fuel prices. (Yahoo News)
Since our company was simply created to address Bastard people/events/situations etc.., I felt I had to highlight and speak to this particular situation. If you haven't heard, American Airlines will be charging $15 for the "first" checked bag. Let me say it one more time...the "first" checked bag. Not the second...the F*ckin 1st one! What kind of absurd b*llsh*t is that? I mean $15 isn't a lot, but hey, alongside with the rise of airplane travel in general, this adds up. Couldn't they just figure out how to allot the expenses elsewhere? Cutting costs isn't easy, but I mean you're already laying off staff (unfortunately) and retiring a fleet of planes. And, now you want to charge for the "first" bag? C'mon! Although there are exceptions to this rule, I just still believe it's ludicrous. Or, should we all just find alternative airlines to fly to our destinations? I can already invision what the plane will look like once this is implemented on June 15th 2008. It could potentially mean more people will be carrying their bags on and overhead space will be at a premium. Plus, more carry on luggage leads to longer time getting people seated which could delay take off. As if, there wasn't anymore delays before launching into the air. And, the root cause of it all is.....high fuel prices! When is this ever going to stop? Is there ever going to be a cap on fuel? I highly doubt it! The effect of rising fuel prices is so significant to everything we encounter on a daily basis whether you know it or not. And, this is just "one" of the conditions where we see the cost of fuel prices negatively impacting us...the people!...those Bastards! :)
