Many of you already know, Northwest Airlines decided to loose the tote containing my fursuit on my way back from FWA. After more than 2 weeks of calls and frustration, I've pretty much given up hope on finding him again. If it shows up, I'll be super happy but I'm not expecting it after this long.

I have been given a mountain of paperwork to fill out and send into the airline so they can do a more extensive search for my luggage. I'm almost done with it, all I'm waiting for is a copy of the check I used to pay for the fursuit as proof of ownership. After NWA receives this paperwork, they have 30 days to locate my tote. If it's not found before then, they have to cut me a check for the value of the tote and it's contents.

I'd like to get a new fursuit made but we'll see what happens. If the wait for a new one is too long I may just keep the money and give up on suiting at cons for a while. We'll see... It's just frustrating to have something so important to you simply vanish without a trace.

I do know that I'm never flying Northwest again. As far as checking any of my future fursuit cases at the airport? I won't be doing that either. Instead, I'm sending my critter caskets packing via FedEx to the con hotel.
