>                      As a result of the American Federation of Musicians'

> flights. Therefore, AFM has lifted its boycott on Delta. In addition to 
> its carry-on policy, Delta also improved its checked baggage policy. 
> Checked items can now measure up to 120 linear inches and weigh up to 100 
> pounds. AFM is currently urging all other airlines to adopt Delta's 
> policies. We applaud Delta for its decision to accommodate musicians 
> traveling with instruments. Thank you all very much for your support of
