So my question is are they going to make everyone else wait as they now make 2 trips to deliver the gate check bags. They usually unload them all onto a cart and then if they go into a jetway pile them all into the jetway, will they now unload all the yellow handle ones, deliver them to the jetway, go back and get the rest and deliver them to the jetway? Or unload them all then sort them when putting them on the jetway? And as mentioned above if they work at all like the priority tags do on checked luggage there will be no difference.
