US Secretary of Transportation Ray Lahood: Stop delaying!
Implement musical instrument protections passed into law!
When musicians are travelling by air in the United States, their in-struments have no protections under current law. Each air carrier can decide their own rules on how to treat instrumentalists, and this results in arbitrary decisions made down the line. This has resulted in the destruction of instruments, arbitrary fees charged to bring them on as carry-ons, and even the denial of a seat to musicians who purchased a full-fare seat for their instruments to protect them from baggage handlers. Many of our instruments are irreplaceable antiques made by master instrument makers in the 1600s and 1700s, and all we ask is the ability to fly with our most precious tools to provide music to audiences across the United States of America.
Fortunately, Congress passed a bi-partisan bill, the FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2012 (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr658/text/eas) over a year and a half ago to address these problems. It was signed into law by President Obama. Until Ray Lahood acts to transform this bill into a part of the United States Code under Title 49, Subtitle VII, Part A, subpart ii, Chapter 417, Subchapter I, § 41724 we will remain second-class citizens. The future of music as a profession in the United States depends on the security of knowing that we can travel freely and arrive at our destinations. Click HERE to sign the petition
