Sure, that would have been a fun flight:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. I've just been informed that your luggage will not be coming with us today bezause of some problem with the loaders. Now sit back, relax and please do not get angry with the cabin-crew, it's not their fault.
No matter what airline, I don't think any captain would create a mass attack on his cabin-crew that way! This just to comment on your remark that the captain should have told you.
