I just received this e-mail from Local 802 in NY:One of my student's mother works for Delta and mentioned this, last week.
As a result of the leadership of the AFM, the work of AFM Director of
Government Relations Hal Ponder, Local 802 President Mary Landolfi,
and the on-going participation of Local 802 members, Delta airlines
has decided to officially accomodate musicians traveling with
instruments. Delta will now allow all small musical instruments and
guitars on board all flights. In addition to its carry-on policy,
Delta also improved its checked baggage policy. Checked items can now
measure up to 120 linear inches and weigh up to 100 pounds.
The AFM and Local 802 have lifted their boycott of Delta and are
currently urging all other airlines to adopt Delta's policies.
Thank you to the members that responded to the Local 802 request for
written accounts of airline horror stories, to the many that conveyed
the challenge of flying with an instrument to the union, and to all
the musicians that contributed to this effort.
This was an important first step towards adressing the difficulties
musicians face traveling with instruments.
We will send out another email shortly that provides a more detailed
protocol for preparing to fly Delta under the new policy.
Sincerely,
Bill Dennison
Recording Vice President
John
