Perhaps also the ~$908m in bag fees they collected last played a role in the decision to charge for checked bags and then increase the fees steadily over time — this increase should lead to at least $175m+ in revenue without a single bit of additional cost or effort (based on last year’s $908m number)
And it is not taxed by Uncle Sam as are the tickets/fares themselves.
