Lost: 10,000 bags a day
Discussion
Ah. This is my sphere.
It's a money problem.
They employ monkeys on minimum wage and expect them to actually care.
Bags fall off trucks/get stuck in complicated conveyer systems/lose their tags/ arrive on the wrong chute. If it's not on your contract it is negligent of you to sort it out - it's working for another company and therefore a disciplinary offence.
Coupled to the fact that the place is full of morons giving you bags that are none of your concern (disciplinary again). And I haven't mentioned the conveluted management system (empire building/meeting syndrome) and the piecemeal aiport buildings (thank you...that's why I have a job). Oh...I also didn't mention the baggage return company that refuses to have drivers (extra capital/wages cost) and employs 70+yr olds who can barely walk and spend most of their time coddling their bladder problems.
Don't blame me - blame the low cost 'how cheap do you want it' philosophy

The sooner they roll RFID tagging for baggage out at every airport the better!
The tagging would have to be internal. A lot of these lost bags start out by losing their tag and then have no identifier anywhere (yes we will open the bag and root through your stuff to find a name/address). At check-in the tag will be looped through a handle/similar. They have extra barcodes on a rip off at the end. If you can nab one of those and stick it elsewhere on the bag then your chances of a complete loss are remote.
Now then...nearly time for my saturday afternoon shift ie watch the footie and then rush off to my remote station for a nap. Anyone got any tips of how to hack your way out of an intranet?
