Protest impotriva United Airlines

Povestea urmatoare este deopotriva trista si amuzanta.

Se da un cantaret canadian pe numele lui Dave Carroll care era in turneu impreuna cu trupa lui Sons of Maxwell. Au zburat cu avionul de la Halifax catre Omaha, cu escala in Chicago. Dupa aterizarea in Chicago, in momentele in care asteptau sa coboare din avion in Chicago, o femeie a exclamat la un momentdat: "My god they’re throwing guitars out there!" ("Dumnezeule, se arunca cu chitare afara!"). Intr-adevar, responsabilii cu bagajele de la United Airlines arauncau de zor cu chitarele lui Dave Carroll si a celorlalti membri ai trupei. Chitara lui Carroll era un chiliper, model 710 Taylor, in valoare de 3500 dolari.

Dave Carroll a tot incercat sa vorbeasca cu angajatii de pe aeroport, dar acestia nu au fost deloc receptivi la nemultumirile lui. Ajuns la hotel a constatat avarii la chitara si a inceput un sir lung de reclamatii adresate United Airlines. Insa totul in zadar... angajatii companiei aeriene nu si-au recunoscut vina.

Motiv pentru care Dave Carroll a decis sa compuna 3 cantece despre peripetiile lui cu United Airlines in semn de protest. Cantecele au fost mari succese pe Youtube si totodata o mare lovitura in imaginea companiei United Airlines.

Va prezint acum primul canted Dave Carroll versus United Airlines, impreuna cu versurile sale foarte inspirate. Acest cantec a adunat peste 8 milioane de vizualizari pe Youtube in 8 luni. Si pe merit, pentru ca atat melodia cat si videoclipul sunt super realizate.



I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska
The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'Hare".
While on the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me,
"My God, they're throwing guitars out there"

The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror
At the action on the tarmac, and knowing whose projectiles these would be
So before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees
Who showed complete indifference towards me

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

When we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected
My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at O'Hare

So began a year long saga, of "Pass the buck", "Don't ask me", and "I'm sorry, sir, your claim can go no where".
So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Deli
Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "no".

I heard all your excuses,
And I've chased your wild gooses
And this attitude of yours, I say, must go

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

Well, I won't say that I'll never fly with you again,
'Cause, maybe, to save the world, I probably would,
But that won't likely happen,
And if it did, I wouldn't bring my luggage
'Cause you'd just go and break it,
Into a thousand pieces,
Just like you broke my heart

When United breaks guitars.

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

Yeah, United breaks guitars.

Yeah, United breaks guitars.
