Victory for Pevsner over airline weight charges
In 1973 Donald Pevsner challenged airline baggage fees set by IATA and balanced by CAB oversight. After hearings the CAB cut economy baggage rules to one three-suit bag two suit bags and a carry on, effectively ending weight as the measure and charging by bag size and trip distance. The ruling stirred international tension as US law would press foreign carriers to comply, risking landing rights in retaliation.
