Compared to what the airlines have lost on my trips I'd gladly loose a bag tag any day.

Jan 1st, 2002, DAL/ASA lost my Dog Jake in ATL. Yes, my living, breathing, barking Black Lab was lost in ATL for 8 hours thanks to a snow storm and (as I was told) a shift change.

Two weeks ago Carpatair was nice enough to rush me and four others to our flight to Romania, but left our bag on the Lufthansa flight we were on. Wouldn't have been a problem if they flew to Constanta, RO more often then every 2 days, but hey, it still wasn't my Dog.
