Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story... - In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Follow me at http://twitter.com/DaveCarroll . Video Produced by Curve Productions of Halifax, http://www.curveproductionsinc.com.

Well, I'm not into this sort of music. But... Well done! Well sung. Glad you had a great result. As for United's PR. I will NOT FLY WITH UNITED. Good on ya mate.
P.S.: and forget about "Caution" and "Breakable" stickers, either they fall off before the luggage leaves the check-in, or the baggage handlers take it upon themselves to test the validity of the claim, by breaking it.
The average life span for my luggage is about ten flights, after that the suitcases are so damaged that they are likely to spill their content through broken seams if you look at them wrong.
Why do we as customers accept that luggage is being treated like this?
Why is it wrong for us to expect that when we put valuables in the luggage, it will arrive in the same condition?
Accidents happen, but when an industry accepts breakage as the norm, something is severely screwed up in that industry.
1: Taylor is one of my favorites and I hope to get one one of these days. 2: everybody knows that if you travel, you get a good travel case so your baby won't be damaged. 3: Handlers need to learn how to take care of others property!!
Kudos to you! Just because of this video I wont fly united, even though I fly free on standby. How an airline treats the luggage is a reflection on how an airline treats their customers. United apparently doesn't care for their passengers or their passengers things so i'll pass. Great song by the way very catchy, oh and I love your guitar. I might have to get a Taylor guitar myself.
