Its the most expensive possible fare in coach (which many times are actually more expensive than restricted First fares). The full fares are typically fully refundable up until departure so people with very sporadic schedules such as consultants often pay for the flexibility of being able to change travel plans instantly. Giving these people free checked bags is kind of a farce because most of them are as savvy as crewmembers and carry-on and are furthermore typically very frequent fliers that are immune to the charges in the first place, but the airlines want to keep these customers so they aren’t getting nickel and dimed.
