The bad things keep continuing on UAL. United Air passenger says scorpion bit him on flight from Texas to Calgary, Canada. A man on board a United flight from Houston to Calgary, Alberta on Sunday, said a scorpion dropped on his head from an overhead storage bin and stung him under his fingernail, according the United and media reports. "We were on the plane about an hour, having dinner, and then something fell on my head, so I grabbed it," passenger Richard Bell told CBS in a Skype interview on its website. Bell said another passenger who was Mexican told him, "'Hey, that's a scorpion, they're dangerous,' ... That's when it stung." United flight attendants helped the passenger after he was bitten "by what appeared to be a scorpion," airline spokeswoman Maddie King said in an email on Friday, adding that a physician on the ground assured the crew that "it was not a life-threatening matter." United is "reaching out to the customer to apologize and discuss the matter," she said. Honesty is the best policy.

Photo 1 - Yesterday an UAL passenger took a picture of five people wore helmets on plane to prevent concussion, broken teeth, bleeding, ..... Photo 2 - "United Breaks Guitars" is a trio of protest songs by Canadian musician Dave Carroll and his band, Sons of Maxwell. It chronicles a real-life experience of how his guitar was broken during a trip on United Airlines in 2008, and the subsequent reaction from the airline. The song became an immediate YouTube and iTunes hit upon its release in July 2009 and a public relations embarrassment for the airline. Photo 3 - Jimmy Kimmel has hit the airline the hardest, first with a monologue Monday that questioned why airlines are even allowed to overbook when, for example, stadiums, never do. He even included a faux commercial for United that featured a flight attendant wearing brass knuckles and proposed the alternate slogan, “F**k you.” Ellen DeGeneres got in a dig at United’s last controversy, in which teenage girls were reportedly denied boarding on a flight for wearing leggings: “I think United didn’t want people to wear yoga pants because there’s nothing to grab on to.” She then threatened to boot one of her own audience members before offering some pretty straightforward advice for the airline: “Don’t overbook your flights Conan O’Brien took the opposite approach, pretending that he doesn’t get enough audience members at times and sometimes has to drag people in off the street to make them attend. This one may have come a little too soon. Have a nice long weekend !! Happy Easter !! Honesty is the best policy.
