I've had reasonably good luck lately with my bag being early in the bag queue - good job. Now the only issue is how long it takes for bags to start flowing. At some stations it's amazing (at RDU, good grief - bags were coming out of the carousel right as I got down there, which is very impressive)... at others it's miserable (Seattle, I'm looking at you - 25 minutes for bags to start flowing seems to be the absolute minimum wait time).

I'd like to see an increased focus on getting bags flowing quicker at international gateways for priority tagged luggage, too. With Global Entry I can bust through passport control Kool-Aid Man style (ohhh yeah!) very quickly but that doesn't do me any good if I then end up slumped against a pillar for a half hour waiting for baggage. (hi Detroit!)
