[HANASHIR:9564] "Music in the Air" (literally)

[Ros Schwartz <ros_schwartz...>]

In view of all the pre-Hava Nashira discussions about airplane travel
with musical instruments, I thought that this project might be of
interest to some on this list.  Check it out at:

Music in the Air

Music in the Air is an independent project organized to challenge the
carry-on restrictions facing airline travelers. Musicians whose
instruments usually exceed the 22-inch length are most vulnerable to
Senate bill S1294. If passed, this bill (which is still in the
transportation committee) will create an FAA regulation restricting
carry-ons to 22x14x9 dimensions across all airlines. Lobbying efforts
are underway to defeat the bill.

Music in the Air is distributing a survey, the resulting data to be
used in negotiations with airlines interested in forming partnerships
and alliances with musicians. Several organizations are working toward
a positive outcome. The Traveling Musician's Union, Local 1000 has a
copy of the survey on their website. Click to their home page for the
survey, and fax it back. http://www.local1000.com/
