A United Airlines spokesperson has confirmed the company is reviewing an incident where a Houston employee allegedly attempted to "wrestle" a violin from a passenger.
Classical musician Yennifer Correia's attorney said her client was boarding a flight from Houston to St. Louis when a United Airlines supervisor told Correia she could not carry a violin with her.
Attorney Philip Macnaughton said her client was told there were "no options" to board with the violin. When Correia asked for the employee's name, Macnaughton said it "triggered the United Airlines supervisor to get angry" and say "well if you want my name, I'm gonna have your name."
According to Macnaughton, the United Airlines employee attempted to grab and tear the information tags attached to Correia's luggage. It turned into what the Texas attorney described as a "tug of war" which he says his client won.
After the supervisor failed to rip the tags off the luggage, Macnaughton said she "basically disappeared" and ran away.
A United Airlines spokesperson said they reached out to Correia to offer assistance and said they were disappointed that a customer had a poor experience.

I heard this limerick many years ago:
A tooter who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tooter,
“Is it better to toot, or
to tutor two tooters to toot?”
