Just Missed It!
Never flown through MSY on Delta.
So if you passed through MSY (New Orleans Int'l Airport) on Delta Airlines sometime between 1991-1993 I probably worked your flight. I was that young college kid telling you that you needed to sober up or I couldn't let you on the flight. :-P

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.
They're using 9/11 as an excuse to steal from musicians.
