I've had two trips with checked bags where I was upgraded prior to departure. (The only way we lowly FOs get SP bags.) In FAR last week and at MSY today, my yellow tagged bags were among the first ones on the belt. Of course, my full 28" had been taped together after some bozo managed to pop the zipper but I opened it on site and everything appeared in tact and the zipper worked to close it back. I have appreciated the priority bags thus far.
