[pianotech] OT Travelling with instruments

[Brian Trout]

Thank you, Jon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The video was very good, even a few chuckles during the video.

 

But the Hitler one was priceless!!  Had to watch it several times because I couldn't stop laughing long enough to read the subtitles.  

 

Reminds me of why I don't fly anymore either.

 

:-)

True Story.

 

Musician Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines.  They damaged his treasured Taylor guitar ($3500) during a flight.  Dave spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages caused by baggage handlers to his custom Taylor guitar. During his final exchange with the United Customer Relations Manager, he stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for YouTube exposing their lack of cooperation.  The Manager responded: "Good luck with that one, pal."

 

So he posted a retaliatory video on YouTube. The video has since received almost 6 million hits and been featured on CNN.  United Airlines contacted the musician and attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response was: "Good luck with that one, pal."

 

Taylor Guitars sent the musician 2 new custom guitars in appreciation for the product recognition from the video that has lead to a sharp increase in orders.

 

Here's the video ....
