I just watched the video, that is just what I saw .. Northwest Airlines going to Madison Wisconsin. That guy is absolutely right, I bet they would do the same with any instrument. I envy people who play a fiddle, at least that you can bring on board. A large aircraft you probably can carry your guitar and store it up top. Seems like more and more however you get the small regional carriers that nothing fits in the storage bin so you have no choice. On top of that they charge you now for luggage so you get to pay to have them break it.
