I asked CS and they said there is nowhere in the contract of carriage that says first class gets priority baggae handling. Maybe this is a throwback policy to pre-OW when Alaska didn't have priority baggage handling period.

That one agent and CS are correct. OWE only, not F.

Ridiculous, I think so, but policy, yes.

And regardless of that argument, they most often do nothing.

But orange is my favorite color, so there’s that.
