Sheku’s bump-off: We name the guilty airline

Sheku’s bump-off: We name the guilty airline

The British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason was checking in on a flight from Cincinnati to Toronto when desk officials told him he could not board the cello. Both he and the cello had fully paid seats but the uniformed lunks at check-in refused to let the cello board the plane.

The result? A concert cancelled in Toronto at two hours’ notice. And a musician feeling woefully abused.

Airlines get away with bumping and overbooking all the time. They have gone back to behaving as badly as they did before Covid.

In this instance, we can name and sham the airline responsible.

It’s Air Canada.

Take another plane.
