American to charge for FIRST checked bag.

If you are going to nickel and dime me raise the price of the ticket instead. I bet they'd get more money that way. If you are going to charge for checked luggage than less people are going to check luggage and pay the fee to check it. They will do anything possible to get around it. If you increase the fare 15 bucks than you will be getting more money outright, even from the people who are not checking their luggage plus you are being honest and upfront.

No wonder more people are taking the bus on trips instead of a plane. They don't nickel and dime you there. It may take longer but in most cases it is cheaper to take the bus than it is to fly.
