> It must happen more frequently than I think. While watching the planes being loaded on Air Canada's side of the terminal in Calgary, I saw baggage handlers pull some cargo luggage off one plane, next door, and hand-deliver it over to our plane. I don't know, maybe it was just a transfer of luggage between connecting AC flights. But that doesn't explain the hand-waving argument the handlers then proceded to have while standing on the tarmac. Oh well.

During my layover in Pittsburgh, I saw one of the baggage transports driving to the terminal. Then I noticed a couple of suitcases falling off of it. The driver kept right on going. Not only that, but two more carts passed them up, and they remained out there at least until my flight left. With my luck, I was sure they were mine. But they weren't. *phew*

Cynth"sucks to be the owner of those suitcases"ia
