United Airlines breaks guitars
Received this in an email. Enjoy.
Quote:
A musician named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. United apparently damaged his treasured Taylor guitar ($3500) during a flight. Dave spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages caused by baggage handlers to his custom Taylor guitar. During his final exchange with the United Customer Relations Manager, he stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for YouTube exposing their lack of cooperation. The Manager responded: "Good luck with that one, pal."
So he posted a retaliatory video on YouTube. The video has since received over 6 million hits. United Airlines contacted the musician and attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response was: "Good luck with that one, pal."
Taylor Guitars sent the musician 2 new custom guitars in appreciation for the product recognition from the video that has led to a sharp increase in orders.
Here's the video:

Re: United Airlines breaks guitars
The video is pretty funny. This has to be a PR nightmare for United.
Re: United Airlines breaks guitars
Yeah this sure lost United more then $3500 for fixing this guys guitars. Though i doubt anything changes from it.

I was gonna say this, but I didn't want to be added on the "Biggest Hater" thread.
Re: United Airlines breaks guitars
In the four years since the 6 million hits, the video now has over 12 million hits
