"...Several other airlines such as American, Northwest, United and U.S. Airways already charge a $2 curbside fee. Delta says it is only considering adding a similar fee. But it confirms it will do away with about 65 skycaps on its payroll at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International and about 10 at the Los Angeles airport."
