Don't Mess with a muso

Post by Tod Gilding » Sun Aug 05, 2012 8:40 pm

This certainly gets the point across. Seems the only way one can get justice sometimes is by going to the media or Youtube. And they get results. ________________________________________




A musician named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. 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 video on YouTube. The video has since received over 6 million hits.


United Airlines has subsequently 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:
