Flew last month PIT IAD GRU......agent at PIT affixed the orange priority tag to my suitcase (since I'm a new Prem Exec) so that I'd be sure to get it.

I saw my suitcase on the tarmac at IAD as I got off of the plane and assumed that the connection would be made.......

The next morning at baggage claim in GRU, I had no suitcase.....the only person from a 80% full 767 with such bad luck.

The agent checked the digital trail for my bag and found that it went from IAD to SEA!!

Two days later my suitcase arrived at my hotel in the little town that I was staying in Brazil.

On my next trip to GRU, I think I'm going to aske them to leave the priority tag OFF of my bag!!!! It sure didn't help me on this trip.
