Other times & airports too! VERY fast - except when I came into ATL from South America a few weeks ago. Yellow tagged bags DID NOT come out first. My bags weren't at the very end like yours, but perhaps the ATL baggage crew needs a little extra help - or training.
+1 on the ATL baggage crew. Flew into ATL from Cancun two weeks ago on a flight with a very light SkyPriority load (heck, I got my no status wife op-uped with me on a T fare), and my bags came out near the end. You would think that international arrivals in ATL would be the shining beacon of how it's done.
Wow, that "no-status wife" line really makes me sound jaded.
