Most the majors (DAL at least) have offered CCard holders free bags already for years. SWA has what it always had, the opportunity to serve point to point service from shoulder cities/towns. SWA used to be king at marketing "direct" flts that stopped, but didn't change flt # so people all the time thought they were going non-stop, but were instead pit stopping at another city.
They wandered into the main conpetition of ATL with the other aquisition. Their strength is owning MDW, DAL, HOU, OAK etc. JMHO.
