Blind Justice
I have flown alot in my day, and I have been bounced before. It is frustrating, but what are you going to do? Now when you travel with a touring band, that is a different story. How are you going to make accomodations for all those musicians? If you are a weekend warrior, the gear and crew are minimal, but with a staff like Ronnie Milsap, what are your options? Well you first fly back to Nashville, and rent a private jet. Then you sue the airline that did this to you. That is exactly what Milsap did. In February, Milsap and his band just finished up a show in Vermont, and had to arrive in San Antonio the next day for another gig. United Airlines overbooked the flight, so subsequently, half the band was bounced. They did make the gig, but Milsap was not happy. Ronnie Milsap Entertainment is suing United Airlines for an undisclosed amount of damages. I don’t think he is going to get anywhere with this lawsuit. Airlines are pretty much exempt from anything like this. You just take your flight voucher, and grin and bear it.
