Not on the originally scheduled flgiht (and time)... The point is, that the passenger should have no advance knowledge of when speicifically will the baggage fly without him, and crucially, no control to remove themselves from a flight while having the luggage still on.

2. you have no idea which flight it will be on (if any)
