It it was fine.
if anyone would raise a ruckus and be disruptive and disrespectful, wouldn't it be a NON-REV?😜🎼.✈️

Last year, an old friend called me up, and said he was downsizing, and asked if I wanted to buy back an old Gibson Les Paul I had sold him some 35 years ago. Of course I said yes. I no longer lived in the same city, and it happened that I was already planning a visit there along with my wife. Met up with said friend, bought guitar. I was not heading straight home, had business in another city, so asked my wife to carry it home. She got upgraded to F, and they not only allowed her to carry it on, the FA cheerfully assisted her in stowing it.
Last month I was in Philly on business and bought a nice Martin acoustic. I was flying AA, also upgraded to F, and they said no way in hell was I going to bring it on the plane. They gate checked it, and it was in a hard case so there was no damage.
All depends on the luck of the draw with GA's.
