This would be an interesting aspect to test:

From Delta's website:

Time to establish a Rebreather World Rescue Unit and start issuing credentials...

I second this idea. We should get some official looking cards made up. I am all about taking an inch when someone will give it.

How's this for a name: Re-WoRD (Rebreather World Rescue Detachment)

Delta Rep: Sir, what's in your bag?
Traveler: Ma'am, this life support system
Delta Rep: A life support system?
Traveler: Yes ma'am
Delta Rep: What are you, some kind of rescue man?
Traveler: Yes ma'am, I am a Re-WORD specialist. I am on my way to support a combined initiative off the coast of Central America, it's called Operation Innerspace.
Delta Rep: Wow...that sounds dangerous
Traveler: Funny...danger is my middle name

It seems to me we are being pressured into manipulating the guidelines for our benefit. There must be a lot of over paid company executives flying around the globe playing golf otherwise they too would have had their sporting allowance revoked just as they have done with ours.

Seeing as I fly international fairly regulary with my dive gear I am definately going to look into this in more depth just as the kite surfers and others have already done.

I will see if I can come up with something that works without a glitch at the check in.......and report back.

In the mean time, I am interested to hear if anyone has already actually tried it and their thoughts on the subject.

Regards,

Lance

From the American Airlines baggage page:
* Golf bags are free substitution for a normal 62-inch bag
* Max 70lbs
* Size limited to size of hard-sided golf bag case

Well I'm sorry to say that my bag answers to the name of Janet and is 66 inches and over 70lbs........ I do hope she doesn't read this.....
