The airline vampires are lining up to suck more blood out of their passengers.
One of their brilliant staff member came up with the devious idea to cut down the size of a of the carry on bags. In the future the size that is allowable now will be considered a check-in bag and will have to be paid for.
The new limit would see the maximum size of a carry on bag cut to 21.5 inches tall, 13.5 inches wide and 7.5 inches deep. The current size is 22 inches tall, 18 inches wide and 10 inches deed; not a substantial difference but just enough for them to charge a check-in fee.
I have a sneaking suspicion at one of the bigwig vampires has brother or a cousin that owns one of the major luggage makers and this backdoor maneuver will be a giant windfall for the luggage manufacturers as well as the airlines.
First they started by cutting meals – drinks – blankets – pillows – paying extra for legroom – paying for checked in luggage. It would not surprise me a bit if these banditos start putting pay meters on the toilets.
Years back when all of these industries started out and they did their best to cater to the public to attract their business. But like anything else, as soon as they had the hook in the customers, they forgot who put them where they are and beat us at every turn.
The greed in most of the industries in this world today is staggering. It is hard pressed for me to think of one business that has a customer appreciation day.
There is a rumor circulating that cheaper seats are going to be available very soon. Slightly drafty but cheaper.
Hold on to your wigs ladies.
