Who in their right mind brings a $10,000 65 Gibson 335 on fly dates in the original case hoping they can always put it in overhead and that it won't get checked?

Hope Delta pays for the damages and Gibson takes the guitar away from him for being such an irresponsible moron. Same would go for any vintage Fender owner who didn't care enough about their gear to spend $500-750 on a tour-grade case. As a % of the value, it's trivial.

I think this soap opera was already mentioned and discussed in a lounge post.
