Anybody in the Airline Industry care to explain
the logic behind charging for checked baggage? Obviously I understand that it is a revenue generator. But explain it logistically. On a flight to Atlanta from Columbus. Non-Stop. Full flight, 150 people. Every person had 2 bags. (that is what the FA said) 300 carry ons, not enough space. It took 20 minutes to stuff all they could up top, then off load and check bags for the stuff that wouldn't fit. We are late to ATL, this flight picks up people and continues to Fort Lauderdale, FLA. It has to be late -or- the airplane burns more fuel to get there on time. It seems the revenue generator would be to charge for CARRY ON luggage. EXPLAIN THIS MADNESS!
Can you tell I am in a bad mood? I hate traveling for work.
