The American Federation of Musicians has been working on this problem, as well. They are pushing legislation in the U.S. Congress (S. 1451). Perhaps the petition could be sent to the AFofM. You might wish to comment on the legislation. See Subject: Carrying Instruments on Airplanes :: Official Website of the American Federation of Musicians [2]http://www.afm.org/departments/legislative-office/carrying-instrumen ts-on-airplanes Rene may have mentioned this also. And many of you have heard it. From Halifax, "United Breaks Guitars" [3]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo Halifax is a nice town to visit.. Lots of good guitarists up there. They send a Christmas tree to Boston for our Commons every year. For nearly 100 years now. ajn ----- Original Message ----- From: [4]Rene Izquierdo To: [5]arthurjn...@verizon.net Sent: Monday, September 23, 2013 4:37 PM Subject: Update about 'Airlines: Please stop treating instruments like luggage.
