There has been some (well - alot, really) discussion about the debark in LA. One issue was that when we arrived, the pilot was not ready for us. Another issue was the luggage being brought off by a crane in containers. And that the crane operator was late arriving to start the operation.

The only other time I remember crane/luggage removal on the Voyager was in FtL at the end of the 2008 trip because we were on the dock side of the ship. Honestly, I've never paid much attention before.

It would have been very stressful for the departing passengers with missed flights etc.
