No one's calling you a LIAR....we are however getting a little tired of being berated and picked apart just for offering advice (which YOU solicited I might add). If you don't like the advice you've been given (including a summary of the airline's policy given by one of the most respected employee/members of this board and former baggage service employee), then I suggest you take your gripe directly to Continental because you're obviously not interested in anything that anyone here has to say.

The OP has a few choices:
1. Drive back to the airport, and show a rep the damage. Sorry, you will have to pay for gas and tolls. It is unfortunate you did not notice the damage at the airport, but things like this happen.
2. Continue to post here sarcastically towards anyone who is offering you what CO's policy is. Stating fact does not equate agreeing with it.
3. Fly another airline, and become GOLD elsewhere. If CO is so bad, you should not give them your business. Oh, and don't check guitars on United, or Pets on American.
4. Buy yourself a shinny new bag, and be done with it.

Otherwise you Right
just Luv these people who come asking for Advice thinking they are 100% correct and Everyone will back them and put down CO in this case, and when that doesnt materialize they go after those who disagree like an attack dog

Sorry to disagree with you on this pt, he is very interested with what others have to say , that is as long as you agree with his Conclusions of things and what CO should do about making him whole as he deems it should
Otherwise you Right

It does not matter what you find hard or easy to believe. It does not matter what your personal experience is/was.
What matters is what I happened to witness as I was picking up my bag anecdotally at Carousel 6. The Baggage desk WAS closed.
Unless you are calling me a LIAR - in which case there is no point in carrying on this conversation with you.

Anyway it was fun watching you "CO Lovefest" poster boys in action the last few days. Turns out that CO replaced my damaged bag with a BRAND NEW SHINY one. In addition they are also looking into reimbursing" me for my gas, tolls and parking to the airport.
