Thank you for the responses and for all others who took the time to respond!! Based on this I will not sweat to get to the airport 3 hours early to check my bag, which is what it looks like it takes to do over at WN lines I have passed and the AA non-priority lines which I have seen on past trips at MCO - which look like utter chaos.

For those of you who live in or near a B6 hub I am more then a 'lil envious as I see it they are SOOOO much better then every other North American airlines it is not even close. EDIT: Not that I want to live in one of your fine cities (which I visit, but have no desire to live in) - but that if DCA or RIC was one of their hub cities this would be my go-to airline all the time. Unfortunately for where I live it makes zero sense for cross country travel for me which makes up most of my travels.
