I don't get this at all.

BA have had different tags for F, CW, CE and a common tag for WT/WT+/ET/UK DOM for donkey's years.

Why would F passengers be getting the same tag as bronze passengers (unless latter were in F)?

Luggage tags are (supposed to be) based on cabin, not status, and BA have had cabin specific tags for as long as I can remember. There even used to be different coloured boarding passes for different cabins with a special (silver ?) one for Concorde.

Has this changed for some reason? More importantly, does BA intend to do something about making priority luggage actually work?
