Bin there, done that

Get ready for fuller overhead bins and more gate stress - Northwest has joined US Airways, American, and United on the charge-to-check bandwagaon. NWA will charge $15 for a single piece of checked luggage. The fee will apply to tickets sold after today for departures of August 28 or later in the United States or flights to Canada.

Fuller overhead bins? They're already overflowing. Every flight I've been on recently has been delayed while we waited for overflow carryons to be removed and checked.
