Either way its pretty impressive. Are a bulk of your flights just single hops?
I've flown a couple thousand flights and I've had dozens of cases where the bags didn't land with me (made it on the next flight), many that made it the next day, and more than a couple that made it further out or didn't make it on the trip (or in my heavy hop days stayed a day behind me for a week).
Virtual all my flights are connectors and I went through a period several years ago that the luggage delivery person and I became very acquainted with each other as she was having to bring my luggage out to my house on the return portion of trips on a weekly basis.
All that said, I still don't want to be lugging my luggage though multiple airports to get somewhere. I'll continue to check.
