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.
