[Members] Sign petition to allow musical instruments on airplanes now!

[Rick Dapprich, Editor]

The American Federation of Musicians is gathering signatures on a  
petition to urge Congress to adopt uniform rules for musicians to  
carry on or check their instruments aboard U.S. planes.

To view the bill as currently written, go to http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s1451/text 
. Section 713 "Transporting Musical Instruments" a.(3) provides for  
instruments too large to be carried into the cabin to be checked  
without additional charge (!), maximum combined linear measurements  
150 inches, and maximum weight 165 pounds. Sounds like a dream come  
true!
