[image: AFM - American Federation of Musicians of the United
States and
Canada] *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*
*February 7, 2012*
*Contact: Honore Stockley *
*(315) 422-4488 ext. 104*
*[email protected]*
*The AFM applauds the passage of the FAA Bill that sets a consistent
national policy allowing musical instruments on airplanes*
After five years and 23 short-term extensions, Congress has passed
legislation reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
for the
next four years. Included in the bill are provisions that create a
uniform
national policy regarding musical instruments on airplanes. Any
instrument
that can be safely stored in the overhead compartment or underneath
the
seat may be brought on board as carry-on luggage. Additionally, the
bill
sets standard weight and size requirements for checked instruments,
and
permits musicians to purchase a seat for oversized instruments, such
as
cellos, that are too delicate to be checked. Existing law allowed
each
airline to set their own policy regarding musical instruments, and
size
requirements varied widely for both carry-on and checked baggage.
The
American Federation of Musicians (AFM) has been lobbying Congress to
enact
such a policy for nearly a decade.
"This is great news for professional musicians throughout the U.S.
and
Canada who carry the tools of our trade our instruments aboard
commercial aircraft," said AFM President Ray Hair. "Ending the
confusion
over musical instruments as carry-on baggage has been a top
legislative
priority for nearly a decade. I am proud of our Government Relations
Director, Hal Ponder and his assistant Laura Brigandi in our
Washington
legislative office for seeing the effort through. Musicians can now
fly in
friendlier skies."
The FAA reauthorization was passed by the House of Representatives
on
Friday, February 3 by a 248-169 vote. It subsequently passed the
Senate on
Monday, February 6, 75-20. The President is expected to sign the
bill into
law.
