380 Pilot Fined for punching a teenager in singapore
I think this guy has moved from JetStar and is now flying A380s out of DXB. Could be sitting next to you. Are they so desperate to hire a guy like this? Do they still do background checks?

SINGAPORE - A budget airline pilot was fined $5,000 on Monday (Oct 12) for punching a teenage student on his nose and on the back of his head after a dispute.
Briton Joshua Powell Koke, 24, was also ordered to pay $110 compensation to the victim, 18-year-old Didier Oswaldo Molina.
He admitted to causing hurt to the victim at OneRaffles Place Building at about 3.30am on Sept 19 this year.
Koke had just finished a quarter bottle of vodka at 1-Altitude Bar at the building.
Investigations showed that the victim and his friends were blocking the path of Koke and his friend on the stairs while they were en route to taking the service lift.
The victim and his eight friends, including three women, were moving slowly due to the women wearing high heels.
Koke then uttered the words "move, you Asian *****" towards the group. A verbal dispute ensured, and Koke confronted the victim aggressively.
The victim and his friends managed to disengage Koke and left the premises by taking a separate lift to the ground floor.
On the ground floor, Koke chancd upon the group again.
Spoiling for a fight, Koke took off his shirt and confronted the victim. He punched the victim on his nose, followed by another punch on the head when the victim was defenceless and bent over.
Koke's friend tried to restrain him, but to no avail.
Shortly after, Koke also pushed away one of the victim's friends who tried to intervene.
The victim sought treatment for his nose bleed at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. He was given a one day outpatient medical leave.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Clement Yong, who did not ask for a jail sentence, highlighted aggravating factors such as Koke's intoxication and that he was the aggressor.
Koke's lawyer Michael Lee said his client had apologised to the victim and his friends on the day itself. He also said Koke has been put to much mental distress as the proceedings have resulted in his potential termination by his airline, which was not named.
Koke could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000 for causing hurt.

Bottom line. No matter who you are, where you're from, or where you happen to be laying over......nothing good ever happens after midnight with a few drinks on a layover. Think about it.

So what? The guys an asshole. It's hardly crime of the century and your posting on hear like he's beaten someone half to death.
What's the deal with naming and shaming? Do you have a vested interest in this specific case? And whats with the detective work too?
Line up all the Emirates, sorry, all pilots in the world, in a row and you'll be amazed by what many have done in their past.
Lets just hope you don't make an ass of yourself one drunken night, to find some kind soul, such as you, has put it all over Facebook or pprune.
Move on....

A lot of flashy news for the media obviously posted by some non pilot people here on pprune just enjoying spreading the hate of others.
Most of comments here are from jealous haters who don't have a clue what they are talking about.
Talking about linked in info as if it was real, and taking ****ty tabloid news for the truth.
Full support for this British lad who has been sauvagely attacked by local racists gangs.
Racism IS everywhere when you are an expat....
