I thought I read this morning on YahooNews! that UA has already folded on this one. Now I canot find it, however.

Good luck to this guy if he gets his payback.

Yay!

I was once told by my local airport that yes, they "take surfboards all the time."
"Oh, goody," I thought. I show up, the people in the little airport look at me like I have two heads. "Well, we used to, but not anymore."
"So, like yesterday qualifies as used to. Fair enough."
In retrospect, it's probably well that I didn't travel with it.

jangleplatz! I love it when people don't just roll over and take shit from the system.

As a former roadie, I'll tell you this...

DON'T check a guitar as baggage unless it's in a flight case, like what's made by the Anvil company. If you play a solid body electric, put it in a gig bag and stow it in the overhead bin. If you feel like you need to fly with a full-sized acoustic guitar (like your standard dreadnought), it'll be too big to fit in the overhead, and you'll have to check it as baggage.

Ethics, good for this guy.

Can't wait for United Song 2.

Their publicity people are probably shitting.

Hah.

So basically, a politely worded, "Thanks, but I don't want you to refund me a piddly $3500 for the valuable equipment you broke in the hopes of shutting me up. I want to make viral Youtube videos making fun of your company and piss-poor customer service, costing you hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of dollars in bad publicity. Have a nice day."

I LIKE this guy.
