If you're talking about terrible behaviour from United employees, this is not an isolated case. See also "United Breaks Guitars" https://www.youtube.com/watch?

  Shitty baggage handlers aren’t a threat to passenger safety. (Also: RIP you beautiful guitars and cellos unjustly sacrificed)

    A threat to passenger safety? Which behaviour? Not wearing a mask? Have you been on an airplane since the pandemic started? My experience has been: You have to wear a mask in airports, EXCEPT while close to a vending machine and eating. You have to wear a mask on airplanes EXCEPT while eating and drinking food provided by the airline. I'm pro-mask, I think they help protecting others, especially workers that don't really have a choice (eg: cashiers), I'm pro-vaccine to protect one's own health and prevent health care system collapse, but as far as I am concerned masks in airports and airplanes (and requirements for vaccines on airplanes in Canada) is a joke and some ass-covering from politicians, which somehow trickled down into virtue signaling of "which side" people are.

      Meanwhile in Europe, Ryanair advertises its pre-order food service as the legal way to fly (mostly) unmasked. I’m as masked as you can be while also drinking wine, i.e. mask on between sips, but there’s a lot of bad faith on many sides here.

    You say that, but at least one person has died as a result of baggage handlers destroying their wheelchair.

  Heh. Compare with the (entirely reasonable IMO) sense of entitlement of a pre-2001 passenger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSb5S1_B2YA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSb5S1_B2YA But a guitar you say I gotta check it at the gate Well that isn't gonna happen get your hand off the case Get your hand off the case less you wanna lose an arm
