Anecdotal evidence does not mean it does not happen. I have received calls from UA and WN once the bag was found. In WN's case, the bag was tagged for BUR, but ended up in MCO. I guess it needed a Disney vacation.

How is this different from any other organization getting a ping from the media "problem solver"? This issue was compounded by the fact that the wrong tag was attached, which means that there were 2 bags that were mishandled. UA was already offering $1500 to replace the content - how is that UA not doing the right thing?
