PEANUT-TOSSING PILOT HIRED
From AvFlash:
PEANUT-TOSSING PILOT HIRED: A Cathay Pacific pilot, sacked after
throwing goobers at Cathay Pacific CEO David Turnbull, is back in the
cockpit -- this time with Virgin Blue. Senior Captain Scott Munro was
summarily relieved of his job back in early 2001 when some of his
wayward peanuts landed on or near Turnbull while both were seated in a
bar. The peanut incident does not distress Virgin Blue owner Sir
Richard Branson. When asked about it, a spokesman for the airline told
the South China Post, "If he threw some peanuts at our senior
executives, certainly if he threw some peanuts at Richard, I think the
worst thing that could happen is that Richard would throw some peanuts
back at him." Isn't that the way life is supposed to be?
