We see it as not a big issue because how many times has the OP has flown and seen this happen. He/she states 18 years he/she has been flying from LAX-ASE it's only happened once.

Unless you know the full story as to where exactly the luggage was left; was it "on the runway" or was it "in the jetbridge" you don't know who exactly point fingers to or say who's fault it was. Mistakes happen; yes, even when it's their job to do certain things, mistakes still happen.

Do we fire a barista every time they get an order wrong? It's 100% their job. Wouldn't you say that getting one order wrong in 18 years is pretty good?
