WASHINGTON – U.S. soldiers returning from Afghanistan posted a YouTube video complaining that they had to pay Delta Air Lines $2,800 out of pocket to check extra bags, prompting an onslaught of online comments critical of Delta and at least one boycott effort

The video went online late Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon — nearly 200,000 views later — Delta had posted a blog message saying it had revised its bag fee policy for troops. The airline had been allowing troops traveling coach class three free bags, but was imposing a $200 fee on a fourth bag. Now the Delta — in a statement attributed to an anonymous customer representative — says fourth bags will be free.

The annals of dumb, that has to rank right up there.

If I were running a competing airline - I'd have a commercial produced, in say.. one day.. saying "We don't charge soldiers coming home extra fees like Delta does".

Of course, that's not the only place where soldiers are being screwed over by their own nation.
