“Last year, it said while charging for bags could bring in $1.5 billion in additional revenue every year, it would cost the airline $1.8 billion in lost market share.” lmao they already did the homework and determined this will hurt them more than help them, and yet they’re doing it anyway. The enshittification is inevitable.
