AA's new 'excess weight' baggage policy a disguise for more $$

As per this article :

I think it's a sham that AA is pulling knowing full well that MOST baggage weigh between 50 and 70 lbs. This is especially worrying when you are checking on to international flights that permit baggage up to 32kg (77lbs) per piece. Notice that AA is reducing the amount from $80 to $50 for baggage over 70 lbs. That is just a 'piece' offering that is IMO useless. I'm sure then that AA will also charge you for that extra piece of luggage that you need to spread your extra stuff into too!

Hmmm. How to connect onto CX without taking AA now?
