Taking out the eristic claim of discrimination, it’s still rather disingenuous for them to charge to check any bags at the same time they require certain items to be checked.

Furthermore, what is their policy going to be now on lost luggage? If people are *paying* for the shipment of the bag, you better believe they will be even less pleased to see it disappear.

My complaint is the multiple bag charges they are going to institute. FrogDad and I recently traveled and, since he was still under a don’t-lift-more-than-5-pounds edict after surgery, I got to sling our stuff around. This hypothetical occurred to me while slinging that stuff.

The person in front of me hoists their 50 lb bag up onto the scale. There’d be no charge.

I hoist two bags totalling about 46 lbs. MUCH easier to move two 25 lb bags for an older (ahem!) woman. I’d have to pay for that second bag, even though my stuff weighs less than the previous persons.

THAT is discrimination!
