A
musician named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. United
apparently damaged his treasured Taylor guitar ($3500) during a flight. Dave
spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages caused by baggage
handlers to his Custom Taylor guitar.</span>

During
his final exchange with the United Customer Relations Manager, he stated that he
was left with no choice other than to create a music video for YouTube
exposing their lack of cooperation. The Manager responded: "Good luck
with that one, pal."</span>

So
he posted a retaliatory video on YouTube. The video has since
received over 5.5 million hits. United Airlines contacted the musician and
attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response
was: "Good luck with that one, pal."</span>

Taylor
Guitars sent the musician 2 new custom guitars in appreciation for product
recognition from the video that has lead to a sharp increase in
orders.</span>

Here's
the video ....</span>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo&amp;NR=1</span></span>

My wife plays guitar &amp; I took her to the Taylor factory in San Diego for a tour a few years ago. They make BEAUTIFUL guitars that play VERY well &amp; I'm glad United got what they deserved! Maybe this will change their tune on baggage handling some!!! Ray.

Yes it was insured ?They delivered an empty box with thesearch form taped to it.They knew there was a problem.I filedthe search form.

When I flew United returning home to Oz
after a week in Aspen a couple of years ago , they had the balls to charge me for excess weight, when they were the lousy pricks that let bags sit in the
freakin rain for an hour on the ground in LAX and when we changed planes in Hawaii I got slugged the excess baggage fee. When I got my snowboard bag
unpacked I wrung about 15 Lbs of water out of my gear, but did I get an
apology ?? Sod off I was just some dumb schmuck flying home. IMHO they
couldn't give a toss.</span>

They know you're not going to get off and walk home.
