American Airlines and common sense

American Airlines will start charging $15.00 for a checked bag! (Yeah, the first checked bag, and $25 for the second!!!) Reuters: American's $15 checked bag fee will not apply to international flights, some of its AAdvantage reward program members, or people with full-fare tickets. So if you are a poor schmo flying on a non-refundable ticket in the back of the bus next to a reeking toilet, you'll be stiffed with extra 15 dollars just for the pleasure of flying with a change of clothes. I wonder if they'll charge you another $15 "checked luggage locating fee" if they lose the bag. Phooeeeeeeeeeeeey!
