Alaska Airlines CEO Brad Tilden is one of the airline’s biggest boosters -- but he says his high-flying carrier let him down when he traveled to an industry summit. According to the Los Angeles Times, Tilden took an Alaska Airlines flight to Washington, D.C., last week. He arrived that day, but his bag didn’t -- and had to be delivered the next day. “The media is here and I'm hoping that you don't write this down and print it,” Tilden said. The airline offers $25 or 2,500 frequent-flier miles to passengers who don’t receive their bags within 20 minutes of their flight’s arrival.

When I lived in Omaha, Ozark Airlines (I think) announce the addition of a non-stop flight to the Twin Cities. On the inaugural flight, there was one passenger; a friendly grandmother type. Yep...they lost her suitcase.
As a CEO of a major airline, Mr. Tilden should know that anything you say to or within earshot of a reporter is going to be reported (unless your a socialist progressive, that is). Somebody in baggage handling is in deep trouble.
May as well resign now.
