Skycaps Win $325K in Suit over Curb Check-In Fee
At Boston's Logan International Airport, Skycaps used to make a decent amount of money — until American Airlines imposed a $2 curbside check-in fee two years ago, and passengers stopped giving tips.
The Skycaps didn't just get mad — they sued. And Monday, a federal jury in Boston awarded nine Skycaps $325,000. That's the amount the jury determined that American had diverted from the luggage helpers.
The Skycaps' lawyer says she plans to bring similar lawsuits against American at other airports across the country.
