The only time I have to pay for bags is when I go snow skiing and bring my skiis. Luckily my Amex reimburses me for $100 worth.
I'm ok with the fees to an extent. Extreme examples like Spirit are not worth it.

I like the idea of paying by weight, but if you are under a certain weight they should put two people in one seat. You are still occupying seat capacity/volume and paying less. Another paying customer could have purchased that extra space.
Don't like it, pay for your additional space.
A 747 weighs 347,000 lbs empty. If you have 100 passengers that carry an extra 100 lbs each, that's 10,000 lbs. That's about 2.8% of the weight.
How about you divy up the weight of the plane by passenger and then add the persons weight and baggage in? That would be a little more fair.
Maybe the airlines should look at trying to drop a little of the 347,000 lbs and improve efficiency? Materials/ Flotation devices over land?
I'm really just pissed at a recent baggage fee and cancellation fee. Screw the airlines other than SWA.
