Southwest seems to be improving by the day

I really like the fact that Southwest is introducing Express Bag Dropoff as I'm the type of person who prints out the boarding pass at home. This will save me time from other people waiting in line to rework their ticket and check bags.

For $5 for the introductory WiFi thats a good deal and even if they raise the price to $10 per trip then thats fine.

If they keep the free bags then people won't want to fly on US Airways and other airlines. $25 each way per bag is a huge savings. People don't want to sacrifice their liquids so checking them in free will save money in the long run.

It would be interesting to see if other Airlines would waive the first bag and charge for the second. If Southwest can offer free bags then why can't Untied follow suit? Our economy seems to be getting better more business travelers etc.
