ATLANTA - Customers checking their bags curbside for flights on Delta Air Lines could soon be charged $2 per bag as part of an effort to cut costs.
Airline spokesman Kent Landers said the airline is considering such a fee, but said no decision has been made.
The airline said Monday it is handing off its skycap jobs at airports in Atlanta and Los Angeles to a lower-paying subsidiary, Delta Global Services.
Delta is one of the few major airlines that doesn't charge extra for curbside check-ins.
Landers said Delta is not considering such fees for check-ins inside the airport.
He said Delta plans to eliminate the jobs of about 65 skycaps in Atlanta and 10 in Los Angeles on March 1st. The employees will be offered other airport customer service jobs or could transfer to Delta Global Services.
Skycaps rely on tips made during the curbside check-ins to boost their salary.
