Since "PRIORITY" is now printed on the bag tag for 1Ps and above, I guess some stations have decided that they don't need to use the orange tags any more.
At BWI about six months ago, after checking me in and putting my bag on the belt, I asked the CSR why he didn't put a priority tag on my bag (not sure why I asked since I recognize that they mean next to nothing domestically.) He proceeded to run and grab my bag off the belt before it went in the chute and he pointed to the "PRIORITY" on the bag tag and then put it back on the belt. I wish I would've kept my mouth shut about the orange tag because I was headed to ORD and my bag (with the ORD tag) got put on the nonstop to LAX that day. Every other time I've flown out of BWI on UA since then, though, they've put the orange tag on my bag; but typically, it hasn't really done anything for me.
