Ive told this story before, but flying to portland in 94, i got out of plane, watched out window as dumb as nails baggage handlers take my boxed bike off plane, place it on cart and proceed to pile a giant pile of suitcases on top of my bike, then drive off bouncing down to the unloading area.
clearly didn't give a rats ass about my bike.
don't know how it didn't get damaged.....although it did wobble sometimes on that trip down the west coast ......
