Good Morning All:
Maybe this will make for a interesting discussion point for remedial Cockpit Resource Management or a much needed visit for anger management counseling.
Maybe the Captain should have rethought that one as in my thinking you only return to the gate for a safety/maintenance issue
Korean Air Chairman's Daughter Kicks FA Off Flight — Civil Aviation Forum | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This incident happened onboard KE086 JFK-ICN on December 5th. The daughter of Korean Air's chairman, who also happens to be the vice chairman herself, was served macadamia nuts in a paper bag instead of a ramekin by the FA. This really angered her, and she yelled at the FA, demanding her to bring over the FA manual so that she can find out the policy on serving nuts in First class.
Because of her really loud yell (which could be heard all the way in the Y cabin), the FA was nervous and was unable to locate the section that pertains to serving nuts. The chairman's daughter then ordered the purser to get off the plane, and the plane turned back to the gate to offload the purser, causing a delay of 11 minutes. The purser caught a separate flight back to ICN the following day.
The Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport suggested that the chairman's daughter could face charges for her actions.
You just can't make stuff up like this... What a farcical airline, and I'm glad that I've switched over most of my business to other airlines.
