The issue of petty theft has a storied past at Cathay, dating back to a crippling three-week strike in 1993 by flight attendants demanding better working conditions.
A prominent leader of the strike, Courtney Chong Cheng-lin, was sacked months later, accused of stealing some nuts, a bottle of water and an in-flight magazine.
After a five-year battle to claim damages for defamation, she won a multimillion-dollar, out-of-court settlement.
