I guess. :roll: We'll let you know when your luggage turns up.
But not until you leave the state it’s currently in.

(Then you will have 15 minutes to pick it up before it’s auctioned off as unclaimed, at a location which you will be informed of 14 minutes after that.)

((Which location will not be in any state, but rather an international neutral zone. Or on the moon.))
Let's put it this way. If you fly Southwest during an epic meltdown of their system, your luggage might as well be on the moon. Because they won't know where it is even when they themselves claim they flew it to an East Coast airport.

Because according to Southwest it's nowhere on planet earth.

This is what happens when profits and savings from tax cuts are spent on stock buybacks and not invested in infrastructure and employees. Here’s an account from a pilot.https://Twitter.com/mikesington/status/ ... bYwL4JlY9Q Expect to see more.

I am also Dr. Shades. Except maybe for that Perfume thing.

Perfume defines Dr. Shades much more than the characters AtlanticMike and Binger, however, they would all face problems with the scheduling procedure of Southwest Airlines.

That is an impressive metaphysical conundrum, to be sure, but one I choose to overlook because it's bad form to be seen losing an argument with oneself.

I suggest participation trophies for all.

I am Perfume, Shades. There are three different models of me. I will add, though, that you only met my backups in the airport. They did report that you seemed charming.

Do you all remember air travel before COVID or maybe even before 9/11/2001. Arrive 15 min before takeoff, 2 suitcases and a csrry on no charge, in flight meals, no runarounds to airport hubs, one 10 minute stop in San Fran to change planess and in Honolulu before the sun went down for $600, rarely was luggage lost in my experience.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
