Shutdown the interwebs! Pink tags are definitely done for because one poster allegedly heard from a gate agent who also moonlights as DL's spokesperson that pink tags will no longer be offered...

This hearsay that we seent on da internets must be true!

The OP came back later and posted that it was likely a mistake by the GA . . . . .

Today 2/19, handwritten sign in SLC gate B-11, at top of gate, where pink tag bags would normally be left , "All carry-on bags go on plane"
Emb 175 with the larger bins.
No incidents visible from 2A, guess everything fit.
