The airlines are "unbundling" some of the costs associated with handling passengers.
So, for example a hockey team with 2 large duffel bags per player that weighed more than 50 lbs each would pay more than a business traveler with a 35 lb rollerbag.
we must alway remember that airlines aren't a charity and they have to cover costs or they will eventually go bankrupt.
Good luck!
