Delta: You're Lucky to Be Alive
Click through and fasten your seat belts for a bumpy read.
We thought, maybe, we could find someone who might offer us some coffee or similar to calm us after watching our plane catch fire, so we went around attempting to find a Delta representative who might be sympathetic, both to us and to the 300 people still stuck in line. Unfortunately, whenever anyone heard our story, all we were told was, "You have a new flight? Well, there's nothing I can do for you then. What more do you want?" Well, that's not true. One guy, a fine representative of Delta Airlines, told us, "What do you expect me to do about it? You're lucky the pilots knew what they were doing, or you could be dead right now."

DELTA AIRLINES SCREWS MUSICIANS.
I've been flying with my guitar for well over 10 years, and have never been forced to check it. Checking an old archtop would surely destroy it.
Checking in at La Guardia on my way to a show in Atlanta, I was forced to buy a seat for my irreplaceable 50 year old guitar at the last minute. First offer: Only $1020.00. The hostile, rude counter jockey in the faux military uniform finally got me a seat for well over $650.00.
He had no last name on his name tag, and refused to allow me to speak with his superior.
He claimed it was a security issue, but security just x-rayed the case. Never even asked me to open it. Every security person I spoke to (and I spoke with plenty) were shocked, and said they had absolutely no problem with guitars. As a matter of fact, over the past 10+ years, no security personnel have had any problem with my guitar, here or in Europe.
Delta is pretending it's a security issue, but it's clearly not.
Delta is using the human misery of 9/11 as an excuse to bully and steal from musicians.
