I remember one time the AC app told me a bag was being "accepted" (or loaded to the plane) out of nowhere when I don't have any checked bags. It was YUL-YOW on PAL, there was a lot of gate checked bags, I suspect they put the wrong passenger when tagging the bags. Maybe I should be alarmed by it.
Interesting. I remember one time I'd emailed the SFO concierge about something (probably SDC?), got an email back, and 30 seconds later "your bag has been accepted". The bag disappeared shortly after. I guess they'd obviously pulled up my file to help me out, and might have been in the middle of checking someone else in or something, so when they clicked "print bag tag"...

But man, imagine being pulled off your flight by RCMP for drugs in this scenario. Talk about embarrassing. I assume they'd be eligible for APPR delay compensation, since it was entirely due to the actions of an AC employee?
