American to charge for FIRST checked bag.

What I hate about this is that it makes the whole business of selecting the best ticket a mess - who's going to go the airline by airline flight by flight break down of the inclusive and exclusive pricing? It's like you need to hire a financial analyst to select a flight for you. I suspect what this will really result in is more brand loyalty as the more you fly a particular airline the more you know if it satisfies your need.
