Good point! They probably save quite a few $$$ by transferring the responsibility of lugging luggage from the baggage handlers to the passengers, at the expense of a zoo-like boarding process. And then charge $35-45 per bag for checked items. But it's all due to the internet search engines and people who select to filter by "cheapest flights first"----they advertise the "best" fare, then nickel and dime you to death.
