Rediculous... everyone has had moments like this. And if you havent..then you've had other moments of poor behavior in some other case. Maybe your a jerk and you treated your ex wife poorly..maybe you got mad at the guy who cut you off by mistake... etc etc. This blokes behaviour was out of line..but was he sorry for it? Is he a good guy generally?? Everyone deserves a second chance. If he gets sacked that that just proves the poor quality of people that Cathay management has become. And shame on anyone that persecutes this individual without first looking at yourself. Are you really innocent in all your lifes behavior??
