UNITED AIRPLANE TO PASSENGERS: BITE ME

Passengers on a recent United Airlines flight to Chicago were shocked to find a strange message greeting them on every single inflight video screen on the back of every seat on the plane. The message was: “Welcome aboard flight BITEME1 to Chicago.” Most people found it funny. No one is sure how the message got on the screens, but one theory is that an engineer was carrying out some maintenance on the system, and in order to ‘load’ the system they would have needed to input a flight number, so they made up something humorous just to get past the login screen.
* Sure, engineers are such wiseacres!
* Guess what United said when people complained? C’mon, guess! It’s the same thing they say when they lose your luggage.
* I would not be surprised if BITEME is the universal password to all United computer systems, passcodes and employee lounges.
* That’s certainly better than the CRAMIT flight to Newark, or the MASSHOLES redeye to Boston.
* How about “WARNING: This aircraft is past its authorized term of service. Do not fly.”
