A Transport Canada regulation, the “cello net” is the most ridiculous thing I encounter traveling with my cello. Meant to restrain the cello, it generally does a much worse job than the seatbelt I strap around it on flights in the United States. The THREE ground crew personnel who were assigned to “net” duty had no idea how to secure it just draped it over the case and tied a few knots to feign security. Ridiculous. It used to frustrate me but now I just laugh (as do the stewards and stewardesses).
