NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) -- Senator Charles Schumer doesn't want to see airline fees go sky-high.
On Sunday the New York Democrat called on Delta, American, United Airlines, and U.S. Airways to reverse a decision to increase 'ticket change' fees, 1010 WINS reported.

"I am asking, really demanding that Delta, American, U.S. Air, and United Airlines put the brakes on these out of control change of flight fees," he said.
