ET TU, JETBLUE?

A measly few hours after I posted the new inductees into the Hall of F*ck You and asked JetBlue not to let me down, my favorite air carrier has done just that.
JetBlue said it would begin charging passengers $20 for a second check-in bag.

What is this world coming to? JetBlue has stabbed me in the back.

It really sucks for us because we travel with a car seat, which we always check through.

JetBlue, though, is trying to lighten the load of their airplanes. And one way is by
emptying lavatories on every single stop, no matter how short. They say its more cost efficient to have the crews do the dirty job than it is to fly with the added weight.
I think the airlines should take it a step forward and demand mandatory colon cleansing. Check your one, under 50 pound bag, wait an eternity to get through security, and then once settled in the terminal - colon cleanse. It will reduces the weight of the plane dramatically.

HALL OF F*CK YOU!



Five airlines have just entered my Hall of F*ck You!
  • Continental
  • Delta
  • Northwest
  • United
  • US Airways
These five airlines will now start charging $25.00 for a second bag! The charge is to "offset" the rising price of fuel.

So my guess is people will be doing more carry-on, which will mean longer lines at security. And with all that carry-on, there will be less room on board to stow your carry-on.

But if you're in First Class, Business Class, or have reached fancy-pants status in the frequent flyer programs, you don't have to pay.

And don't think of cramming that one bag since all of the airlines now charge if your bag weighs over 50 pounds. Northwest charges a whopping $125.00.

JetBlue, please don't let me down.
