What The Fuck Is It With United AL

Is being an asshole a job requirement?

Musician’s hand injured after United Airlines supervisor wrestles away antique violin in baggage dispute

A professional musician says a United Airlines employee tried to wrestle away her violin after she insisted on carrying the valuable antique onto her flight.
Yennifer Correia wanted to keep the violin, which is hundreds of years old and worth tens of thousands of dollars, with her while flying Sunday from St. Louis to Houston for work, reported KPRC-TV.
Federal law requires airlines to allow musicians to bring their instruments aboard as carry-on luggage, under certain conditions, but Correia said a United supervisor insisted she pay $50 to check in her violin.

Apparently so, as United's own policy requires that they allow small musical instruments in the cabin provided they can be stowed safely.

That manager was way out of line, IMO.

People's lack of an ear for tone is fucking insane.

I guess all it takes is someone to cross you at the wrong time, and people get motivated by revenge rather than good sense.

I don't imagine the little artist lady wasn't exactly a perfect customer, but still.

I suppose the stewardesses stand at the exit saying "Thanks for flying United you fuckers."
