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 ....
