American to charge for FIRST checked bag.

Oyyy vey. If you don't pay for those reserved seats, it'll make it so hard on couples or families, who like to try to sit together... on plus-sized people (or, I'll speak specifically, me. I like a window seat so I can lean out of the way of my seat mates without getting smacked by the beverage cart.) And like I've been whining, it's just another expense added to the already exorbitant (and for us, outside of emergency or required trip, basically prohibitive) prices.

Kevin, like they've pointed out, our summer trips are each 2x the cost that our Christmas tickets run, so it's not supply/demand. But it IS airlines losing money, I get that.
