Ms. Hoser (stripes are in this year
) is mentioned as Mr. McConkey's assistant. Her LinkedIn profile reveals that she has been Director of Administration for IASCO for the past few weeks. She also lists the current title of Deputy Director, Ground School for
Qingdao Jiutian International Flight Academy.
She previously lists regional, national and global sales manager positions with Continental and United and a M.S. degree from University of Illinois.
With this background it would seem unlikely that she didn't know the illegality of any scheme to involuntarily repatriate a foreign flight student without due process.
Was the order to return Shi from the Chinese sponsors perhaps?
