[Nick Griffin] "I'm also convinced that FedEx gives new employees a course in case throwing."
We've never had any trouble with FedEx... in fact, when we travel we ship all gear via FedEx and
generally check NO gear as baggage. I carry on my one little case of prime lenses which never leave my sight (
never check them)... since they are worth more than everything else put together.
We
have checked gear as baggage on rare occasions... but rarely without incident and I really prefer not to.
Trivia for the day... do you know what the airlines actually
call the baggage handlers? Throwers. Yes,
throwers. Hmmm.
Actually right now we are producing a television commercial
for one of the airlines, a new carrier in our city. We shot all of our own stuff at the airport, but were also provided a reel of footage from the airline itself. It included the usual... beauty shots of planes in the air... but also some tarmac footage...
including baggage handlers
throwing bags.
On their own darn reel!.
