Agreed.
Senior associate probably spent more time buying toiletries and dropping off laundry than he saved not waiting for luggage. If he had a meeting scheduled that close to arrival he should have got an earlier flight. |

Time is money. You want him to miss his last meeting in the city he was leaving from?

Sorry. But anyone who has meetings scheduled such that he has a meeting in one city, can barely catch a flight out in time, and then has a meeting scheduled almost immediately when he lands needs to take a Time Management course.

Then we can be weird together. I always pay for VIP at arrival in BKK. Includes a golf cart from the gate, someone picks up my checked bags while I sit and point, totes my bags outside to a van that is waiting for me.

Maybe he manages his time just fine. Some people have meetings in 15-20 cities in a week, and get paid a lot. Should they cut the work they do in half in order to schedule according to your prejudices instead of their own best estimates on how to maximize the benefit from their use of their time?

You're wrong. Backpack is my personal item, no different from the massive purses carried by women.
I've never been refused by any airlines when traveling thusly, either domestic (USA) or overseas. |
