Uh oh! Thread drift....
Not to rub salt in the wounds, but the priorty bags thing reminded me of yet another small improvement in AA service recently. (re: the CP Membership 2000 thread.)
When checking in in Boston on Sunday morning, the agent noticed my CP Priority tag, but added an AA Priority tag anyway. He mentioned that sometimes AA baggage handlers don't "recognize" CP tags, so putting an extra AA tag on would insure that the bags got priority handling at both ends.
My two bags were the very first off in Vancouver.
