One other fee I can see Southwest increasing is the charge for alcohol. American and Delta charge $7 for a mini. But then both airlines provide a free drink for their higher tier frequent flyers on each flight they aren't upgraded on and Delta use a better quality vodka than Southwest. I would rather pay $7 for a mini of Absolut on Delta than $5 for that vodka Southwest serves (and Northwest used to serve the same brand).
