ExSimGuy,
I’m a pilot for WN. I don’t check my suitcase. It goes in the cockpit with me. There’s a baggage storage compartment behind the captain’s seat on the 737.
I know there are some airlines where the flight crew does check their baggage. You must have assumed I work such a company. No problem, but please don’t call me
Shirley.
Yes. I have seen how checked baggage is gets bumped around. When we are late I often tell the customers it’s because the machine that rips the handles off the baggage is broken and it takes a little longer to do it manually.
