This is funny because it puts Cathay in a less than desirable position.
Normally, such disruption to the operation would be automatic dismissal, especially for a junior cabin crew member.
But if Cathay fires this poor person, they will be eaten alive on social media. I would not be surprised if a crowd of thousands shows up in front of Cathay city to occupy it if they did take such action against her.
Just imagine, a HK company that always brags about how much it loves HK and how HK is such a great place filled with great people, then goes and fires an employee for exercising her basic human rights to protest oppression.
So Cathay can't take action, which I am sure will piss off the natives to the north. Cathay is always sucking up to China and treating them with kid gloves. Would not take much for the Chinese to take action against Cathay, which would really hurt the bottom line.
So like I said, a very interesting position for the company. I'm guessing a quiet dismissal, made quiet by large sums of money to keep it so.
