Too much sax and violins.
my daughter flew United this week and said the attendants were rude and curt. I wonder if United is unionized and if this is a ploy for pay?
Divided Airlines.
"Poor experience" and "flying United Airlines" are pretty much synonymous.

If it fits in the overhead or under the seat then what’s the big deal? Flying mostly sucks anyway in great part to the unfriendly cretins like this hack.
“...said they were disappointed that a customer had a poor experience.”
You would think that they would find another phrase to describe “assaulting a customer.” I just hope that the customer found a way to give the employee “a poor experience?” by way of jambing her foot up the “customer service employee’s rear end.
I believe there’s a relatively new rule that musicians may carry on their instruments. My best bud is a famous guitarist and he travels the world with two guitars in a double gig bag. No problems. And a violin? Wasily fits in the overhead. Last time I flew with a guitar, the stew just put it in a clothes closet up front.
As a musician, I wouldn’t trust ANYONE to touch my instrument - especially a professional-grade one. Professional-grade violins can run $10,000-$20,000.
FReepers are so blind!
It coulda been a Tommy Gun!
Given United’s history, she was lucky the employee didn’t knock her down, and drag her to the nearest exit.

United breaks guitars. Why would she trust them with her violin?
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.”
Fly the friendly, or we’ll beat your ass!
Stop flights to and from St. Louis. These are all the flights getting the bad press.
There’s a specific exception for musical instruments that’s been negotiated by the unions. I travel with my guitar in a gig bag all the time. This employee’s nuts.
