There was an interview with the individuals who made the video on CBC radio in Saint John this morning, former UNB Saint John students.

Apparently United is now scrambling to make it up to him, but he's all "No, that's ok - my way is better." In the interview I saw on CTV Newsnet the anchor was trying to get him to sing a few lines of the song. Quel fromage! He politely declined, directing people to the video instead.

I like this guy.

In the music trade there is something called a road case, which is a case used to carry musical instruments and related gear on the road.

If one must fly, and fly their gear, there is something called a flight case.

If one saw the difference between these two cases, one would know what every musician should know - do not trust airlines to treat your musical instrument with anything other than complete disdain.

You have a choice. Use flight cases, or deal with broken instruments.

I still wouldn't trust my instrument to baggage handlers, no matter how sturdy the case. Which is why I'm glad that I play the flute, I can always take it with me in my carry-on if I have to take it with me on a flight.
