I started out in the airline business in your city in '65 Tim. If I was still in it, loading baggage (I did that for 6 mo. before heading for the ticket counter then management) I'd be making over 40K annually (or retired 5 years by now), have free lifetime passes to travel anywhere in the world, get 80% discounts on hotels and many other destination services, including car rentals. Loading baggage 'aint that bad. ;>) ...if a little chilly at times. By the way, it's not the guy loading the bag who put it on the wrong place, it's either the ticket counter agent, or skycap that "checked" it to the wrong destination, and the automated routing conveyor system which reads the bag-tag that are the culprits. It just looks like the ramp agent "did it". And the retirement deal....I'd be doing AK in my Westy! V/C Bob Stevens '87 Syncro Westy (tiico) "Noizee"
