OK. I will say right up front I may be wrong on what I THOUGHT the rules were (so please save the flaming), that is why I am posting to find out what the rule currently is (right, wrong or otherwise, just curious the rule not the merit of it).

Isnt the current policy that they have to match the checked baggage with the passenger on the plane and if it doesnt match it comes off the flight??? Or am I wrong.

The reason I ask is that I was booked Sunday to come back from PBI, but took a voluntary bump. But my checked luggage did come back Sunday, which I thought was against policy. Thought my butt had to be on the plane for my bag to be in the hold. Is this not the case?
