On April 19, 2010, Schumer announced that several major airlines have committed to not charging passengers for carry-on baggage. In personal calls to airline CEO's, Schumer secured commitments from American, Delta, JetBlue, United, and US Air. Two weeks ago, a local carrier created a firestorm when it announced that it would break from long-standing airline tradition and begin charging customers a whopping $45 for carry-on luggage. The decision to charge carry-on fees spurred fears that other airlines would follow suit. Today, Schumer said that he would be reaching out to the other large national airlines, asking them to follow suit. For further information on Chuck Schumer please visit www.schumer.senate.gov
