Does FL put passengers on WN flights when FL has maintenance issues? Is it possible those FL pax are paying for bags that travel on WN planes while the WN pax are not?

Only in special circumstances however it does not matter because your contract of carriage is with the airline who you bought the ticket with and not the operating carrier. Might as well be JetBlue operating for FL and you'd have the same thing, or vice versa if SWA passengers flew on FL for any reason.

No. WN will operate as WN, FL will operate as FL. The two will not mix and slowly the FL planes will be absorbed into the WN livery.

I've enjoyed watching ya'll want the free bags on FL but don't want to fly on WN.

Many of us (if not most on here) are A+ Elite members and already enjoy the benefit of free bags on FL. WN really doesn't have any added benefits to offer us thus far.

I actually like bag fees. Why not just charge the people who actually check a bag, instead of making passengers who don't check bags subsidize that service for others who use it.
