Is the airport that short of baggage handlers that if two flights cone in at the same time you can expect to wait an hour for your luggage?

Never waited more than a few minutes.

They may have been having issues with the plane compartment door's or The tug that pulls the baggage wagon's to the baggage claim area

If you wait that long it's not the baggage handlers. I would suspect that security or even customs was involved. They is not typical. Especially on a domestic flight.

No. I have never waited more than a few minutes, and I fly almost weekly
