I think it’s ridiculous to charge for something so expected as luggage. Even worse, Northwest charges you for food on a 12 hour flight!

The article praises AA for their wing-tips but my understanding is that it is Continental that did it first. Continental also purchased new planes to be more fuel efficient before it became cool to do so. In terms of business decisions, I think that Continental airlines is doing better than any of the others. Aren’t they like the only airline making a profit right now?
