Anyone know what CO's policy is on replacing the priority handling luggage tags? I had just put the new 2003 tags on my luggage before taking a recent NW flight. Both bags came out with the tags missing.

On a related topic, is there a NW-CO labor dispute going on? It seems like quite a coincidence that both tags would vanish on the same flight (and my bags came out dead last, too), leading me to suspect foul play...
