Reminds me of the MadTV skit with a similar message. Gotta give props to Southwest, though, for capitalizing on the insanity of the legacy carriers.

I believe I started seeing my first billboard ads about no fees a week or so ago. WN's PR department and firms have so much fodder handed to them right now, its gotta be like shooting fish in a barrel

You got that right. Total insanity. Who would've ever guessed the legacy carriers would be so insane as to try to get their revenues to exceed their expenses.
