Isn’t that crazy? He nailed all the high notes고음 and is now the favorite to win this competition and a million dollar prize. By the way, don’t expect his voice to change. He’s 23. And now to the struggling airline industry. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal are reporting tonight that US Airways and United are in merger talks. They’ve tried this a couple of times before, but failed to strike a deal. Meanwhile, Spirit Airlines has become the talk of the industry with a plan to start charging a fee for carry-on bags. Here’s Mark Strassman.
For passengers, it’s one more gripe불평 at the airport. This August, Spirit Airlines will become the first carrier to charge for carry-on luggage. By last year, virtually all carriers charged between $15 and $35 for checked bags. By charging for carry-ons, Spirit's goal is to get people on and off the plane faster. If you have a carry-on bag, say something this size that will fit under your seat, it's still free. Anything bigger like this roller board and it will cost most Spirit customers an extra $30. Baggage fees have become big business for airlines. From $464 million in total revenue in 2007 to almost $2 billion, just in the first nine months of 2009.
To avoid charges, 1 in 4 passengers now checks no bags, down from 1 in 6 two years ago. That's led to a 24% drop worldwide in lost bags, but a rise in heavier carry-ons. And 81% of flight attendants say they've been hurt lifting those heavy and free carry-ons. Don't laugh. Ryan Air, an Irish carrier, plans to install pay toilets.
