Air France outrages an orchestra

The Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra had trouble flying home from Boston via Paris to Yerevan.

They tell slippedisc.com:

The problem arouse on flight AF333 from Boston to Paris. The Airfrance crew refused to let on board of a transatlantic flight wide cabin airplane with big shelves conventional music instruments. The crew in a typical French “we don’t care” style, in a very arrogant way treated the musicians. They refused to take on board violas, trombones and even violins.

After very long and nervous debates the crew finally agreed to let musicians keep their instruments under the seats. Except for one viola, which was put in the hold.

Airlines behaving badly, again.
