I went to Boston to play a gig with my brother. It was fabulous until…
Here’s what I wrote the airline in question after being delayed:
I was told at the curbside baggage check that the flight was cancelled. They could not
tell me when or why. When I got inside the Floor agents had no idea what was to be done. I was
rudely told to stand in line and wait my turn. There were at least 1000 angry people in line. When
I got to the desk, over 90 minutes later, I was told that the flight I was to be transferred to was
full (She lied to me!) and I was forced to make a decision on the spot about Tuesdays flight. I
have missed a day’s work, forced to stay another night, forced to take public trans in an unknown
city and forced to stay in a siblings house overnight unplanned & uninvited. I kept my cool in
Logan airport becaquse the ticket girls did the best they could. But I am IRATE. ******* owes me
an explanation and a full refund. I will not fly you again if you do not handle this properly.
Rude Floor agents, mis information and mismanagement. I await your response before I tell all I
know what happened. There is no EXCUSE for this.

oh ouch! What a hassle! I am sorry this happened to you (and I am curious which airline it is!)
It used to be such fun flying, but since 9/11 the fun just isn’t there. I’m not one for driving to go places – the thought of being in a car a long time maks me shudder – but after my last few flights I am beginning to think that even with the cost of gas it’s just better. (at least we can see some cool things along the way I guess?)

We call aa.com abomination airlines or awful airlines or sometimes appaling airlines. We’ve had similar experiences…and WORSE! Glad you’re back ok.

Give us the right to reproduce your unedited letter and I am sure many people will put it on their site. I always enjoy taking on the big dogs of the corporate world.

Your band looks really cool! What type of music do you play? Sorry about the airlines. I have to say I have never, ever flown before and don’t plan to with all of the stories I hear.
