You note a fee for a third bag and then pretty much lay blame for the "fee happy" culture on them.
Surely you're not suggesting it's just coincidence that the avalance of baggage fees that has occurred over the past eighteen months (and when I say avalanche, I mean over the entire US airline industry, not WN specifically) just coincidentally started with WN charging for the third bag in January 2008?
Obviously it's Southwest's fault ... that the other airlines look so bad when they charge for even more than Southwest yet are less profitable overall despite the additional charges.
