NEW YORK (AP) -- Five major airlines have agreed not to follow Spirit Airlines in instituting fees for carry-on luggage, and New York Sen. Charles Schumer said he was hopeful other carriers would follow suit.

Schumer said Sunday that he had received commitments from American, Delta, JetBlue, United and US Air. He had reached out to the companies' CEOs after Spirit Airlines recently announced it would start charging up to $45 each way for passengers who bring a bag on board and put it in the overhead compartment.
