NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
JetBlue is feeling the crunch, and soon, so will its customers.
The company unveiled plans to cut legroom and charge baggage fees.
The changes are part of a cost savings and management plan that company executives rolled out on Wednesday. They projected a $400 million a year increase in profits once the plans are enacted.
Legroom cuts and baggage fees have become the industry norm. JetBlue (JBLU) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) bucked the baggage fees trend.
