I haven't read the comments. (Honestly, I don't directly trade airline stocks so I never read their filings...I use FT as my source. )

What garbage fees is WN planning to add? They've clearly stated an opposition to fuel surcharges. Sounds like they're integrating Free Bags deeply into their brand position. What exactly did Kelly say that leads you to believe junk fees are coming?
