That's why i mentioned that fact that even domestic flights within China, my bags arrived at the carousels prior to me showing up. Since i wrote about Terminal 2 of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport, the baggage delivery time for my last two flights have been at least 10 minutes quicker than before. The last two flights, it took an average of 20 minutes. That's amazingly fast for American airport standard. Co-incidence? I took the time to get through immigration into consideration.

And the other problem is unions. You have the pilots union, flight attendants union, mechanics union, luggage handlers union, and toilet bowl cleaner union. Okay, I made up the last one, but unions are definitely not a good thing of modern economy.
