Your first problem is that you are assuming that a labor union would apply long-term logic to problem resolution.


United: it's hit and miss. Elites plus anybody flying F/C are supposed to get an orange baggage tag. MCI always applies the tag. SEA never applies the tag unless I'm actually flying an F segment - I've overheard 1K's arguing about it and not get it. SFO didn't apply it when I was 2P, but does now that I'm 1P.

On the receiving end, it works about half the time. More internationally...less domestically.
