Bike Baggage Fees - Southwest

Hey teamers,
So I've had a couple of discussions on bike baggage policies with people on our team, spurring me to investigate my claim that southwest is still $50 each way, as opposed to $100 to $175 each way like other carriers (Delta, United, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I mean, seriously? You're gonna let some richy rich a-hole golfer check clubs or some punk skier check skis for free, and then charge $175 each way for a bike?) Upon further review, Southwest is still $50 each way! See text directly from their website below. In case they've change their policy but haven't updated their site, I recommend bringing a printed copy of their policy to the airport if you are paranoid. Which you should be. They'll be charging you to $1 to take a leak on flights pretty soon, and $50 to take a dump (they know they've got you).
