Editor: Air Canada and WestJet should both be ashamed, for joining the gouging United States airlines, and starting to charge for bags. When this first started a number of years ago, the U.S. airlines justified it because of the high cost of gas and oil. Well, guess what — oil is dropping, and is at a five-year low right now.
This is nothing more than a blatant cash grab. I urge the travelling public to phone, and e-mail both airlines to urge them to stop this practice immediately.
It is greed, greed, greed, and it’s disgusting.
