I can tell you that PHL ranks high on the worst airport list elaceipsly on the handling of bags. I almost never check bags and when I do I am very sorry about it. I was on a flight once with the Chairman of US Airways Flying in from Phoenix. He was on his way to meet with the mayor of Philadelphia (Michael Nutter) to discuss the labor problem in PHL. Turns out the unions rule the labor and did not want to let US Airways put in another baggage sorter, so yep all of the flights into PHL go thru one baggage sorter. Hence the extremely slow processing of your bags when you arrive. Now about the security lines I have yet to travel this year so I was unaware that they consolidated ALL of the security lines into one terminal C. There was already congestion with each terminal having its own security so if in fact they did that is a terrible shame. Finally yes I have been a victim of the gate is occupied'. This seems to happen very often in PHL. Also the other classic We are waiting on our gate crew' as they seem surprised that we arrived on time and the people are not available to handle the aircraft arrival into last 200 of travel to the gate. (Gee maybe they are working with the bags?) PHL has a great location, they just need to figure out the labor issue and possibly reconfigure the entrance halls.
