Now that several US airlines have announced that they intend to charge for 'checked' bags the question is will this apply to non-rev travel.
If this does apply to non-rev travel should non-charging airlines apply some sort of reciprocal charge to staff of those charging airlines?
We use to joke about charging for a cup of water and pay toilets......it's not a joke anymore!! Sad..[;''
The baggage charges that Alaska has implemented (to be put into place on July 1) will include nonrev travel UNLESS you are listed and cleared in first class. I think it is a shame that the industry has had to resort to this to stay afloat but I know that the costs are higher and revenue is not keeping up. Heck, I think this is the first time in the 11 years I have been with the company that we have not offered round the clock overtime/double time in June!
No, I don't think the noncharging airlines should institute a separate charge just for nonrevs - after all, they will catch up in short order anyway . . . .
