United Breaks Guitars... Loses Customers (07.14.09 - Day 830)

Way to go Bro, I completely agree with you!

[surfincountrygal]

Good video! United you should have paid!

Viral Video about Prudential on YouTube called "Prudential Lost My Line 6 Amp"

[mycrimsonregrets]

i agree with 12stringsforme about anytime you check a guitar on a flight you know it might be damaged so don't fly with your primo gear. i honestly think they should have covered the full cost of the guitar and case if not for just for doing what's right, at least to avoid bad publicity. and sadly yea, shit happens but the responsible party needs to cover damages when it does. good luck man.

The smart play here is to piggyback off of the success of the viral video, put a creepy Che Guevara hat and say that you're never flying United again. Why? Because as the guy stated, he has a lot of travelling to do. The end game being United calls Mr. Che Hat and offers vouchers should he come back to flying United. Well played Mr. Che Hat. Siding with the greater good. I bet if you worked in United flight 93 on 9/11 you might leverage some buddy passes.

Thank you for explaining how to fight back, even though some of your vewers say that your just blabing. So many times the bigs guys out there just don't care and after they take your money they don't want to do anything about it and just want you to go away, unless your just strupid and want to give them more money.

[GavinMichaelBooth]

Always have to fight the man when you're just and correct to!

[sampton7454]

Thank you for coming out and showing how to fight back at the big guys. So many times the big guys think that they can just scew everyone over and don't care. Keep fighting!

[loadi2]

my you like to blabber, jughead.

[junsei3]

This guy has no details as to what happened. He just trying to get fame from others. Dumas!! lol

[12stringsforme]

Shite happens.

Rule 1 with expensive instruments, don't take them travelling. No effin way would I trust any airline with my Taylor.

[CPFlip007]

What you supposed to do not Travel and Gig??? Igit.

[12stringsforme]

Christe I would leave my 555 behind. Always travel with something you are prepared to see break.

[NikitasGuitars]

@12stringsforme unless you buy a seat for it. If you care about it BUY A SEAT FOR IT. It hurts to pay extra, you give extra money to the airline shitheads, it's not right, but when it comes down to it your guitar will never leave your sight!

[Alexmcgruer3]

Details.

The band never saw the incident, someone else did, (somewhere?)

Wast of time! Its 5,000,000 + about a month in.

This is piggy backing and not a support blog.

The song is awesome - I saw it the other day and made sure to post it to facebook for everyone to see. Shame that United Airlines is full of idiots

[baum000blue]

FYI - What came out last night was that the charity donation that United was to give - went to charity that that is chaired by a woman by the name of SONYA jACKSON - Who we might add is an executive with - and you guessed it UNITED AIRLINES - THE DUDES ARE CLUELESS

[GavinMichaelBooth]

LOL - love it. Thanks for giving me the facts!
