First music video I've watched in years. Creative and funny. I'm glad he vented his frustration. It's a shame that everyone who agrees with him will be back on UAL risking it because the fare was a dollar cheaper.

If you do not loosen the strings the neck will snap from pressue changes. Plus his case was a cheesy cheap case if the video is used the same type. But of course if he used a 'fragile' sticker on it that would have been all the protection needed.

Ok, I give. If the rigging to the flight controls of jets at 41,000 feet does not explode at altitude, why should guitar strings? As a side note I have taken my violin with me at times with no ill effects.

I've seen bicycle tires change size, but I'm not sure how that would work with the guitar strings. Seems a little far fetched

Thats what happens when you employed childish immature and overpaid rampers that don't give a $hit about anything except themselves. UAL should of fired their dumba$$ during bankruptcy.
When you compare Southwest ramp who earns $8.75/hr who does a hech of a job to a sloppy diseased $20/hr UAL employees who sucks at everything they do in life.
Time to outsource bitches!!!! Fu** the damn Union.

Better check your SW payscale again. They are closer to $25/hr topped out

Are you high or smoking that Afghan crack? I went to a WN interview session at SMF and ramp personal get pay $8.75 an hour even in California. Even WN mechanic gets $24.50 at PHX.
You better stop smoking that $hit man. Don't just goggle $hit till you get your facts straight.

Maybe day one starting pay, I started at $5.77 23 years ago. Check top scale, that which I refered to I believe. They are TWU just like me. Would you like a copy of thier progression scale

You bet. Most of these sites include benefits and longivity pay which are not basic pay. When you put your pay minus benefits equal 8.75/hr.
No joke!!!
