I commute regularly and have never seen a mainline pilot go out on the ramp to retrieve his/her bag.
I've seen it regularly at IAH. That's what the Yellow CAL crew tags are for, they leave the bag either next to the belt loader or just sitting on the belt loader waiting for the pilot to come get it (Jumpseaters) instead of them going to baggage claim.
