Ok, so your take is that

Quote:
the baggage handlers are contract employees. Therefore the baggage is delivered regardless of the "priority" tags added for elites
and you point is what? The airlines charge to provide a service and fail to deliver it. The fact that they have contracted out part of their service is irrelevant.

I've often had a good laugh as I have been "Platinum" on Continental since 2003 and more often than not if I have a checked bag when I get back to Phoenix my bag is often amongst the last to arrive on the baggage claim belt.
I must be having a sense of humour failure, because when I have paid for a service and it is not delivered, I usually don't find it that funny.

You go to a restaurant and order food, you wait 3 hours and then they tell you the chef has gone home and you are out of luck, by which time it is too late to go anywhere else. Would you laugh in that situation... and if not... why not?
