Adding $$$$ for the second bag was bad enough but the first bag? What a way
for American Airlines to say, "We'll screw the passengers one better. We'll
charge for the first bag!".

With oil moving to $200/barrel, how soon before business class travelers
stop traveling? Sure glad I don't own any airline stock. I wonder if any
carriers locked in oil futures at $100/barrel or less?
