What ridiculous reasoning. You're not "subsidizing" anything. Until recently, luggage transport was part of ticket prices. Just because fee-happy Tiltard has found Yet Another Way To Save The Airline, doesn't mean ticket prices now automatically exclude luggage transport.

Of course, we could also take that to the other extreme - Why should those that pay for F have to subsidize upgrades?
