On December 30, an arrest warrant was issued against Heather Cho and Korean Air cabin director Mr. Yeo for attempting to obstruct evidence regarding the "nut rage" incident which occurred on December 5.

On December 5, Heather Cho made headlines when it was reported that, as Korean Air's vice president, she turned a plane around in order to kick out a crew member. The story goes that Cho was served the nuts on a plane going from New York to Seoul (Flight 86) when she didn't ask for them.

Currently Cho and Korean Air are being investigated for the December 5 incident. However, according to the court, Cho and a Mr. Yeo are being arrested for interfering with investigations. While Cho was accused of systematically concealing proof of the "nut rage" incident, Yeo admitted to destroying evidence. Korean Air has also been accused multiple times for attempting to force its employees aboard the Flight 86 to lie about the events that had occurred.

Have you ever heard of Air Traffic Control? To turn a plane around, particularly at a busy airport like Kennedy without declaring an emergency really throws a monkey wrench into ATC. The have their arrivals and departures scheduled hours in advance, so an unscheduled ‘arrival” is a real headache.

I don't think they were in the air yet. Granted, even returning from the taxiway will screw things up somewhat.

Well maybe because the airliner is Korean, and the country you are referring to is China. Its okay, they all do look alike after all.

Well yes, they used to do that. In Japan. Not in Korea. The cultural ignorance on this thread is ridiculous.

So you favor what this self-entitled b*tch did? Hope I don’t get stuck sitting next to you on one of MY near weekly flights.

“I don’t think they were in the air yet. Granted, even returning from the taxiway will screw things up somewhat.”

You may be right. There was no indication at what point in departure the A/C was when it was turned around. But you are right, I’ve been on the taxiway at O’Hare for more than an hour just to get to the active runway and once when the pilot just shut down and we sat for more than than. He told us it was that or go back to the gate for more fuel!

‘as a company exec she was apparently within her rights to ask the plane be turned around.’

The Ministry investigating the incident has already determined that she was a regular passenger and had no such authority. She was arrested and charged.
