So how about allowing 2 bags instead?
Then what will they upcharge you for?
You want me to do TWO things?!
Man, I'd call my lawyer if dialing the phone wasn't such a hassle.
That's still double the work.
Who gets the money for that extra work?
If baggage handlers were paid the extra bag fee people would be queuing round the airport to work there...
If the airport needs more baggage handlers on staff because there's heavy 2 person luggage or just more luggage, they indirectly do get the money, because that's how wages work.
Although I'm sure that the airline will pocket some of the fee, which is obviously not cool, but that's capitalism for you.
Baggage handlers are not paid by the bag
Some airlines do allow two bags.
