Bag Dinamics

Have you ever wonder what happens to your check bags after the counter agent puts them on that belt?

After the bags leave the ticket counter area, they go trough a screening process where they are checked and inspected, then they arrive via another belt to a pier where some people take them and arrange them in accordance to their destination and flight number. When the time for departure is almost an hour away, there's a guy that takes the bags to the plane where three other guys load them into the aircraft  (this is an ideal situation because in a busy day might be different) so we can have our bags when we arrive to our destination. A busy flight may be somewhere in between 100 to 140 bags, and the funny part about this count is that with the price of checking only four bags, a company pays the whole day to one of these people.

Do you feel that the price you pay to check your bags reflect the real cost of it?
