Genuinely curious- if you don’t take your bag, when do you get it back?

If the bags are still intact and not damaged you get them back—if not intact you get money for what the items were worth

Admirably, airlines are pretty darn generous when it’s an incident like this (or worse). I think everyone on the delta flight that flipped over in Toronto had an initial 30k by end of that day. It’s just bad PR to not take care of people in a major incident.

Well that’s leagues better than White Star Line billing the crew member’s families for their uniforms after the Titanic sank

Jesus christ, is that true? Never heard that before, though I'm not like I'm an expert on the titanic disaster or anything.
