My experience of CDG was that lost/delayed luggage problems were airline
independent.

The luggage problem is an airport problem although often the airline
gets the blame. KLM frequently lost more luggage than any other airline,
because they are the main user of Schiphol which has an expert systems
for losing luggage. The luggage handling system at Schiphol is going to
be replaced soon. I don't think the current system has ever been able to
cope during busy periods.
