Trigger Warning: Does This Look Like An Enormous Airplane Safety Risk?

WASHINGTON (ABC7) — Striding through Reagan National Airport, musician John Kaboff was one upset passenger.
“I was mortified to have to be removed from a flight, like I just committed a crime,” he said.
The 46-year-old cellist was sitting in his seat, on an American Airlines flight to Chicago, when he says a flight attendant and the pilot asked him to leave.

“The cello was not allowed on this particular aircraft,” Kaboff said the flight crew told him. “Either I could voluntarily leave, or I could be removed from the airplane.”
All this, because of his $100,000 cello, sitting in a seat he had paid for.
Kaboff, a Vienna, Virginia resident, says the crew showed him a hand held computer saying a bass fiddle is not allowed on their aircraft, a 737 jet.
He says he tried to explain the instrument was a cello, but says the pilot told him he had ‘made his decision.’

Finally these rouge cellist are put in their places. They walk around all high and mighty like their shit dont stink. Guess what? It does!

I love how this pilot wasnt going to give the cello player the celebrity treatment they usually get. He probably knew that he made a mistake calling the cello a bass fiddle but he wasnt gonna bend to the whims of a rockstar cello player. His entire life he’s been stuck with the nerdy job of being a pilot while the cello players are dripping in pussy and jetsetting all over the world to sold out concerts and arenas. That’s gotta get old. Finally the pilot was in the position to put a cocky cello player in his place and he took it. Good for him. Every now and then it’s good to see the nerds beat the rock stars.

That being said, there’s do doubt that John can really tickle the ivories on the cello. I’m wet.
