Skycaps suing over lost fees from curbside tips (Winging It)

Skycaps suing over lost fees from curbside tips

My Inquirer colleage Linda Loyd, the airline beat reporter, has a good story online today and in print tomorrow about the losses skycaps have suffered since most airlines started charging $2 per bag for curbside checkin. Did I tell you I like to use curbside checkin and have always willingly tipped skycaps, even when having to pay the fee? The airlines don't have much to say in Linda's story because they say "it's in litigation," the normal response when a company doesn't want to talk about another amenity taken from the customer. I'll let the skycaps in the story tell you what it means to them. Find it at this link.
