....Aside from the inevitable lost (ie ... missed connection) bag going
through Philadelphia, I've never had a bag broken into or had anything
stolen.

Your experience matches mine, Jay. Not counting crew time, I and my family
have travelled occasionally over the past 25 years or more, plus in the
early-mid 70s I spent 3 years continuously on the road (well, except for 3
weeks). In all that time I (we) have had a few explainable misconnects, but
no actual losses, and nothing stolen.


Now if US Airways makes good on the rumor to take all domestic ops back to
Pittsburgh so that I can avoid Philly altogether, life would be really
good.

I hadn't heard that. Interesting. So, Allegheny back to its roots, eh? I
wonder if there are still any old Piedmont folks around USAir, and how they
might feel about that.
