_AIRLINE FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS FOR MUSICIANS
LOOSENED _ (http://afm.org/)
The American Federation of Musicians of the
United States and Canada, AFL-CIO
(AFM) applauded Delta Airlinesâ?? recent
decision to allow small musical
instruments and guitars on board all flights.
Restrictions on carry-on items were
tightened following 9/11. In response, the AFM
lobbied Congress and the
administration, seeking support for carry-on
rules that reflected the value of musical
instruments and the importance of allowing them
on board. The AFMâ??s efforts
won a formal statement from the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA)
allowing passengers to carry one musical
instrument through security screening
checkpoints in addition to the standard
allotment of one carry-on and one
personal item. Ultimately, most airlines allowed
musicians to carry on their
instruments. But each airline is free to impose
its own restrictions, and Delta
continued to be the most restrictive. For more info, visit _afm.org_
