Cigarman: Point well taken...and I stick by mine, too.
30-40 minutes to get bags? Geez, if I had that experience regularly, I'd reconsider flying (or at least checking bags) with CO. I've had it happen maybe once or twice in maybe the last 250 segments. I had it a lot when I was a regular UA flyer, particularly at SFO, which was a disaster area for baggage service a few years ago when I stopped flying 'em regularly. Don't know if they've improved the situation since then.
