America west airlines luggage lost

I have used America West Airlines twice in the past 18 months for last minute, but still affordable flights from Seattle to the East Coast. (I am CO Silver, so it pays for me to stick with CO/NW/HP) They are perfectly fine via PHX, but never again will I take one of their red-eyes via LAS. I do not have stats on their lost luggage, and on both of my trips I carried-on.
And always put your complete itinerary (including that of the ship) inside the bags or in an accessible pouch/tag.
Be sure to pack necessities (medicine, etc.) in your carry-on.
