As I understand, it's Aviation Security law and the airlines own standard operating procedures that no
flight will depart before an offloaded passengers bag is also offloaded. I have had years in the airline
industry both NZ and AUS and I know the ramifications of allowing a flight to depart with one of these
bags still on board.
This is standard procedure, and I am shocked that someone with "years in the airline industry" isn't aware of this. Think about it. It's normal.
Eg. Just like when bags get left behind - they go on a flight without their owner.
