So what though? I actually like getting gate checked. Now I don’t have to shove the bag in the overhead I just pick it up in claim.

Some airlines give you gate checked bags right upon exit at the bridge. This is OK.

Others put it into the pile of luggage at Baggage Claim. This adds another 45min to your trip.
