When you make people pay for something, no matter how cheap, you now have a greater responsibility to them.
I don't disagree with you at all on this. Any more, I am buying tickets because the flights are to full to chance. Maybe I'm lucky that in 14 years in this business, that was the first time I've had my bags lost. That said, I don't expect them to deliver the bags to my residence, but to not be able to get them on the next flight when the bag was cleared through security, was assigned to me and I'm in ATL but the bag is stuck in PIT waiting on me to be cleared on a future flight I can't possibly take was BS.
