True. After landing in Richmond it always takes long to get to the gate though and it's not because it's busy.

Commenting because I had this happen recently, but AA sent me an email and a text as soon as my plane got to the gate, telling me my bag wasn't going to arrive with me. In the end it did arrive in my flight, which makes it funnier, but I don't know if it's just for international flights that this alert system is in place. If it's for every flight, I don't see how one would be waiting for their bag while it's not there. Also, no complaints about RIC really. It's pretty nice. Long taxiing after landing, maybe?

I took it once and it was 20 minutes delayed to depart but it only ended up arriving ~5-10 late. Not too bad
