It turns out that UA has "matched" AA's $15 fee for the first checked bag. This to us was a matter of when, not if. We have to assume this charge will become the norm in the market (except for Southwest - who will really start to ramp up the PR machine on this fee now).
If so, then consumers don't really need to worry about cross-shopping confusion. The bag fee is just another necessary expense of travel, like airport parking, little tiny in-flight liquor bottles (hold the ice), and cigars at the duty-free shop...
