Really? I would have thought your pilots flying a Boeing 777 into the ground was what damaged your reputation.

At least the spokeswoman wasn't named Man Lee Ho.

I think we need a nickname for that government gal who talks soooo sloowwwly.

Maybe Slo Go Ho or something like that.

They hired that woman lawyer Sui Me Now.

Asiana announced Monday that it will sue a San Francisco TV station that it said damaged the airline's reputation by using bogus and racially offensive names for four pilots on a plane that crashed earlier this month in San Francisco.

The announcement was made by Asiana's chief legal officer, Mee Soo Yu.

KTVU is a FOX affiliate. If the station contained any hint of
a conservative POV then do you think they might be linking
it to FoxNews? Likely.

Probably Asiana Airlines realized that playing the race card might divert attention away from the apparent ineptitude of their pilots, and the implication that their pilot training standards are insufficient. Of course all the broadcast shows is that TV stations can fall for crude pranks. The TV station's actions don't reflect on Asiana at all, but certainly show that the TV station's staff is clueless.

Overall it seems like a foolish tactic for the airline, it simply highlights the real issue which is how could commercial pilots botch a day VFR landing in nearly perfect weather so badly.

Evidently Asiana doesn’t understand the “Rule of Holes,” which postulates that when you are already in a hole, stop digging. The truth is that the Korean airlines (both of them) appear to have serious deficiencies in their pilot training and qualification. Better hope they make a buck on KTVU because they are going to need the money to pay off on the passenger suits against them. My bet is that at the end of the day, Asiana will go out of business. I know that I wouldn’t fly on either of therm.

I hear the TV station is in negotiations with the airline’s representative, Yu Pei Mi.

My favorite part of the report:

The National Transportation Safety Board has apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew....Neither the station nor the NTSB commented on where the names originated.

Just heard this from the You Tube link, and Todd Schnitt replayed it on his show right now. I still can't beleive what I heard. This sounds like an old Sat Night Live gag when Chevy Chase and Jane Curtin did their Weekend Update routines. We place yellow ribbons all over the place to show support for our troops. We wear red ribbons for AIDS awareness, pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness, puzzle pieces ribbons for autism awareness, what color ribbons do we wear for STUPID awareness??!

She read it from the teleprompter and never missed a beat. Obama would have done the same.

[apocalypto]

They are suing because of mistakes in names of piolots, and this after their pilot error caused 3 deaths???
