The next day, I flew on a discounted ticket with no priority tags and my luggage arrived in the first 10 bags. Perhaps it depends on the airport but much more often than not I've found that luggage handlers do not try very hard to put priority tagged bags out first.
Agreed. My priority tagged bags (flying CMH-IAH-PHX) ended up on an IAH-DTW flight that left about 90 minutes earlier from the same gate as my PHX flight was scheduled for. Northwest got my bags to PHX 3 days later.

Priority indeed!

That is my experience, too. This means CO can even make the contractors that work at GRU and GIG to handle priority tagged bags correctly. ^
