The Department of Transportation should regulate airline fees and prevent this kind of unreasonable behavior.

Usually anything over 50lbs is the discretion of the agent at the time of check-in. The higher fee for overweight is very fare. It is meant to keep people from packing too much stuff in their bags, also, consider that the heavier the bag for more chance for the employee to get injured etc....
