There’s no reason for anyone sane to think the airline will absorb this extra tax. Liberals are delusional in their thinking that businesses don’t pass on expenses and taxes to the end user.

1,
They arent greedy. They are trying to make money. Flying costs money.

The reason airlines charge for bags is, aside due the skyrocketing fuel charges, the govt collects a tax of 10% of the base fare of your ticket – BEFORE the taxes/surcharges are added.

If those extra 25$ etc are kept off the ticket price, you pay less in taxes ($2.50 for arguments sake) and the airline doesn’t have to collect it etc.

Commenter No. 1: Historically, the airline industry operates at a loss. The number of failed airlines (Eastern, Peoples Express, Pan Am, TWA, to name a few) is is huge. So the answer to your question is, Yes, Delta is greedy – that’s why they are still in business.

#1 Greedy is one who doesnt give charity, this my friend is capitalism, if you feel you are being charged to much for the provided services you are getting shop elsewhere. Im a business owner and i always try to get the most money out of my customers i can without loosing them its a balance every business owner has to deal with

With their luggage fee already on the first baggage, additional fee for changing a booked flight by a travel agent rather than online as well as other fees, is Delta the most greedy airline?
