You might be surprised to know this...but there are a lot of "humans" that have to lift that bag in and out of cargo bins/airplanes. Back injuries are very common in the airline industry. Those people have families to support. A friend of mine actually broke her neck bones lifting a very heavy bag. She was out of work for 2.5 years.
90 pounds is an extremely heavy bag.
How about just checking another bag and paying for the excess baggage???!!!!
