It's about time things started moving this direction instead of higher....

I wonder if, and, or when US carriers will follow?

Don't know, but I bet United is squirming a bit given their recent increase.....

Also of note, Canada's "other" airline, Westjet have dropped the fuel surcharge from their bookings. They have also never charged passengers for checking a second bag and have vowed not to.

 

Air Canada has also integrated the fuel surcharge into the base fare you see when booking online.....in order to makes fares more "transparent". While it's nice to see AC dropping the second bag fee, they are still charging $25 for checking baby car seats and any sports equipment.
