Simple...
"According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' most recent data, 17 of the largest U.S. airlines collected $2.6 billion in baggage fees and $1.8 billion in fees for changing or canceling bookings during the first three quarters of last year. In 2010, 20 airlines collected $3.4 billion in bag fees and $2.3 billion in rebooking fees"
The article is confusing though. Are they talking about an excess fee for a second, checked bag or for carry-on bags?
