Violinists Barred from Flight Based On Airline’s Made-up ‘FAA Rule’

“As they climbed the stairway to the US Airways Express commuter jet, a flight attendant reportedly handed them a blue slip stating that the FAA prohibits musical instruments on the plane, ‘which was stunning because we’re frequent fliers,’ he said.  When told that their violins would have to be checked, the musicians protested, which prompted a phone call to an airport ‘conflict resolution officer.’  While waiting, a frustrated Kendall said he learned from a colleague about a 2012 Federal law stating that passengers may carry a violin or other small instrument in the aircraft cabin provided there is space. They obtained copies of the law and presented it as they boarded their rescheduled flight.”
