Give the OP a break. If you are sincere and curious about his routing ask him as maybe he had a connecting flight.
As for insuring bags.......we all take risks so again give him courtesy.

I see the OP's delayed bag carried some $7000 worth of climbing gear. So was the bag insured against delay, loss or theft? I know if I had that much invested in equipment I'd be real sure I'd be covered in the event of a loss if I couldn't afford to self-insure.
Sorry, but I can't work up a whole lot of sympathy, especially after reading:
It's understandable to be frustrated and angry about the delayed bag but to malign an airline with a top safety record is uncalled for.
But welcome to FT anyway.
