Got an email from them today that, unless my reading comprehension is failing, said you will only earn miles if you book directly with them or a partner airline. That's kind of nuts.

If you fly with them at all, then it makes getting one of their credit cards a better deal, as that waives the bag fees.
That's probably AA's thought process here: "We'll get more credit card signups by making the card a better value."

Free with credit card and your passengers. One of the reasons I keep delta and AA credit cards. Saves me for 4 bags every time we fly

They just had record profits, so this is expected.

We also shouldn't forget to assign a part of the blame for this to the federal government. Airline tickets are subject to a 7.5% excise tax, but there's no tax on incidentals like bag fees. So, airlines like Southwest that include a free bag with airfare face a tax disadvantage.

I don't think i've ever paid for checked bags in my life, and i'm not a diamond platinum vibranium member on any airline. I'm just a regular jo blo passenger.
I also rarely ever check a bag, and i've been on week plus long trips before and didn't need to check a bag.
stop packing like a woman.
