Angie in VA Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 This makes me so sad, for anyone needing assistance, not just this virtuoso. "Mr. Perlman said that, on Monday, an Air Canada employee who was supposed to assist him instead abandoned him with his luggage, crutches and violin in the zone between the arrival gates and passport control." And the response: Air Canada donates 500,000 Aeroplan points to charity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie in VA Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 And that violin was likely his 1714 Strad (if I have that right), not that it's more valuable than a human being, but what if someone stole it while he was stranded? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 UGH! Disgusting! Air Canada has long had the reputation of terrible customer service -- the overindulged, over-privileged asses! I recommend WestJet next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hmmm...it sounds bad, but let me say this. I have personally dealt with Mr. Perlman and if he treated thi pdrson as badlynas he treated me and the director as well as the concertmaster, then it may have been justifiable. He has a history that is not pretty. The owner of the Amigo motorized chair company has been on the receiving end ofsome serius, uncalled for verbal abuse.( I knew their former sales director quite well because her son took piano lessons from me.) I'd like to know the other side of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hopefully, I encountered him at an odd bad time, but the experience was so bad I would never help him again! It sounds like a lot of you have stories on this airline that are pretty awful so it's hard to say. The STRAD...that beautiful instrument never hurt anyone! It did notdeserve such treatment, LOL!

fraidycat Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Air Canada sucks. Westjet is awesome! But, the article said that assistance is contracted to a third party at YYZ, so... And maybe the guy deserved it for treating FM badly. ;) Karma is a bitch. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
