I think discounting of checked bags when purchasing the ticket would be the way to go, but apparently the powers that be at DL don't agree.
I half-agree with Delta - removing yet another layer of pricing promotes consistency, and ease for the typical traveler. Delta doesn't want their pricing to look like Spirit's, which is utterly rediculous - both in actual prices, and the volume of them. It's so much easier to say, "OK - one bag, $25, always".
