I hope they'll be able to eliminate the wraps entirely with more CRJ550s entering service and green tags becoming a part of history!

Cause it only helps at a few airports. DEN for example, just dumps all the bags at once, so having a yellow wrap doesn't make any difference. In fact, they once forgot my bag in the plane at another regional airport and the pilot had to let the ground crew know that we were missing a green-tag with a yellow wrap.
