Bag fees on FL planes painted with WN livery?

I just read this article where a WN spokesperson says that bag fees will remain on FL into 2013 with no target date to end the fees in sight. The article below states that FL planes are being painted to the WN livery as soon as April.

My question: Will those newly painted planes be used for FL flights even though they have a WN paint scheme? If they are, wouldn't WN be required to waive bag fees for those flights since all their advertising says 'Bags fly free on Southwest'? Seems like a big case of false advertising to fly on a Southwest plane but still have to pay fees for the bags in the belly of the plane.
