Laugh out loud funny.

We actually had Sons of Maxwell play a summer union function at the St.
Mary's Boat Club in the early 90s.
Great fun music , especially outdoors on the verandah overlooking the
Northwest Arm.

That is true. I worked with a guy in the 60's, whose dad was one of the
"sons of the Pioneers", and his brother was a professional guitar player.
Had to check his guitar, as they would not let him take it on board with
him. They broke the neck of the guitar, and said they would fix the neck
for him. ;>) They ended up buying him another expensive guitar.

Wow...looks like a little guy from Halifax took on a big American company
and may actually get some satisfaction.
If the airline changes its policy, all travellers owe him thanks.

You really do have an inferiority complex. Even without writing a song,
most of us would have been able to exact same results. I can understand
why you stayed in a job you hated for so many years.

yes, Don, and here's more:

http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/smashed-guitar-youtu-4850/

-In fact, he writes, “I should thank United…. If my guitar had to be
smashed due to extreme negligence I’m glad it was you that did it.”

sounds like he's not letting up regardless of their promises.

There's no reason consumers should tolerate being treated badly by
corporations.

"By the way: In the U.S. Department of Transportation�s tally of lost,
damaged, delayed or pilfered baggage in April 2009, United ranked 10th
among 19 carriers, with 13,517 �baggage reports� among 4.03 million
passengers."
