Re: File# 2012NM730033

Dear Mr. Deitz FAA PAGE 12/13



## January 

# 3, 2012

On December 22 I was· in Anchorage helping 

# my daughter and 

# son in law move from

Anchorage to Juneau. After loading the pickup truck with a bed set, barbecue and

·

boxes of house hold goods, 

# it was clear that one truck load was not going to get enough

stuff down to Juneau. I suggested that we take the loaded items to Alaska Air Lines and

ship them air freight and that I would 

# pay the bill. Then 

# we could load the truck with

more boxes.

When I moved to Juneau from Cordova about 12 years ago this is how I got most 

# of my

stuff shipped. At 

# that time the rule was 

# if it would 

# fit through the door of the plane 

# it

could go. I was operating on 

# my past experience and felt this was a good 

# way to· get

these items moved. I did not 

# pack any of the boxes and was under the assumption that

we were shipping clothes, dishes and fumiture. To the best 

# of my knowledge the items

in the boxes could have gone as check baggage 

# if one wanted to pay the extra fees.

, I do not have 

# any**M~DS** 

## sheets for the items you listed.

I am not a commercial shipper and have no plans to ship any more items 

# by air freight.

If I ever do I will make sure**th~re** 

## are no hazards materials included. I am just a retired

grandpa tr;ing to !lelp the kids get a new start in life. Please accept 

# my apologies for

causing any problems

I 

## Sincerely,

...- ./;//
