Had to wait over an hour for my bags on a DFW to TUL flight the other night--thus the wait for bags was longer than the actual flight. The excuse was that one of the bag handlers had gone home sick, and the guy who was supposed to fill in for him didn't know he was supposed to fill in. I know stuff happens, but really?

You left out some critical info. Just how long did you wait for your bags? All of them arrived, without damage? Think of the folks whose bags may not have arrived at all.

I have to say that my all time worst experiences have been at Barcelona.

At one point I was commuting down there twice a month and could really have done with a checked bagful of clean clothes, but after waiting more that 45 minutes on 2 separate occasions - 45 minutes ! - for bags from a small SH jet, I gave up and slummed it HBO...

And on many regionals, the pilots earn less than the people who clean the plane.
