Has Southwest stopped promoting "Bags Fly Free"?
Is it just me or has Southwest stopped emphasizing bags fly free in its ads over the past year or so? I recall the "Bag fees don't fly with us" campaign, and I can't recall seeing anything like that recently.
Could a fee for the second bag be in the planning stage?

Not the same exact terminology...but, after 1-click on the homepage for WN:
Why fly Southwest?

Bag fees? Not on our plane.
When you fly with us, your first and second checked bags fly free1 (yep, that includes skis and golf bags).

Transfarency is still being pushed heavily including mention in their latest VX-like ad.
Don't think bag fees are yet on the table.

The most recent campaign is "Yes." Prior to that was "Wanna Get Away." Both are part of the Transfarency campaign that launched in October 2015.
