To the Sulking Police Department?
Uh huh.
Um, could she have simply declined the nuts? “No thanks”?
What’s with these Asian Airlines?
Is that really all they have to talk about? Hows about those 400+ churches that had their crosses torn off by the nervous Communist Government? Hows about all those boy children growing up with no available mates unless they move to another region due to strict one child birth control?
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.
Sounds to me like the Board of Directors should demand Cho’s resignation for no other reason that she was willing to spend company funds to fly the plane back to the airport to do nothing more than exercise dictatorial power over an employee.
Other reasons to demand her resignation is the embarrassment she has caused the company.
Get so tired of everything needing to be a criminal case. Fire her, and move on. A plane was a little late shoving off. Which happens about 25% of the time anyway.
Fire her, sue her civilly if the delay cost money.
But interfering with a flight crew, etc,,, that’s for in flight, bad trouble. This is just getting retarded.
It looks like there are more bullying incidents in the past that are beginning to surface regarding this lady.
There’s a lot more detailed information at the link.
“Netizens are abuzz as more rumors regarding Heather Cho’s rude behavior have surfaced. After the Ministy of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport recently confirmed that former Korean Air Vice President Cho had indeed used abusive language against Flight 86 staff and ordered the plane to turn around to kick out the head of the service crew, more reports are coming out saying that Cho was also responsible for the resignation of Inha University’s former president, Hong.”
According to one Inha University representative, “Back then, Director Cho threw documents at former President Hong and used vulgar language, which made former President Hong very angry.” They continued, “I believe that [Hong] felt very insulted and resigned because [Cho] cursed at him when she was [only] a director and he was old enough to be Cho’s father.”
I had begun to feel at least a bit sympathetic toward this woman prior to learning about the new allegations of attempting to cover up her bad behavior regarding the initial “nut rage” incident, but it appears she has a longer history of mistreating others than I had been aware of.
Apparently daddy didn’t get through to her after the incident with the university president that occurred in 2008.
Man, she is one spoiled princess.
As executives of Korean Air, don’t they have the right to turn the plane around, regardless of the reason? The airline seems to be backing them up. A whole mess developing from this but doesn’t the airline have a right to control its own operations and policies? What law did they break in turning around, kicking off and presumably firing an employee?
This post is a follow up to 2 previous articles regarding the bad behavior of Heather Cho.

Korean Air scion faces probe for bad in-flight behavior
“The transportation authority said Monday it is looking into whether a Korean Air senior vice president’s behavior on a plane, including yelling at flight attendants and ordering the plane to stop, violated the Aviation Safety Law.
The investigation comes after Heather Cho, the airline’s senior vice president and the airline group Chairman Cho Yang-ho’s eldest daughter, allegedly had an aircraft on the runway proceed back to the gate at JFK International Airport in New York to have a flight attendant thrown off due to “poor service.”

‘I am so ashamed:Head bowed, daughter of Korean Air chairman resigns and makes humiliating public apology’
Bowing her head in shame, a senior Korean Air executive whose ‘nut rage’ delayed a flight made a grovelling apology for exploding with rage after her snack was served in a bag. Screaming Cho Hyun-ah, a senior vice-president at the airline, angrily demanded the removal of a crew member from a flight for failing to serve nuts in a bowl. She then forced the Incheon-bound flight to taxi back to the terminal at New York’s JFK Airport to kick the junior flight attendant off the plane.
This is just nuts.
