Re: Delta Airlines


I just received this e-mail from Local 802 in NY:

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.

It's about time. They even refused to let Eliot Fisk bring his guitar
aboard--when he complained, they booted him off the plane and he had to beg
his way back on! (His guitar still had to go in the baggage area.)
