Lion Air in the news again
Lion Air in the news again
You would have to question whether this captain was fit for duty when such extreme aggressive behaviour is demonstrated for such a minor issue.

No.
That is criminal assault and battery (battery as she was aware she was about to be hit for at least 3 of the strikes). Lead him off in handcuffs, put him behind bars and then sack him. He hit a girl at least 4 times around the head.
Now, did he then go fly a 737 with paying passengers in the same frame of mind or was he withheld from service immediately. Where was the hotel security? They have a duty to protect the staff of the hotel as well as the customers.

Psychophysiological entity
Second blow, severe disciplinary action. Third. Job and licence gone on medical grounds. Fourth, Jail.
What an indictment of cultural authority. Neither the victim or the colleague attempted to fight back. Almost as if this sort of thing is normal.
What a world!

\\sacked/Prosecuted/licence suspended until psychologically profiled. Likely? Maybe.
Somebody of that temperament shouldn't be anywhere near a flight deck. Rare now, but I'm sure we have all met that type arrogant a###h##e in aviation.

Good job I was not at reception at the time otherwise this pilot would be unable to report for duty.
Unfortunately in many parts of the world it is still usual and culturally acceptable to beat up its servants. This is just a case of an upper class "master " treating the hotel staff as inferior servants. That also explains the attitude of the other clerk and the security guard taking its time to intervene and not appearing to be condemning the behaviour.
The only reason this makes the news is the diffusion on social media of the video from the security camera and the "western" reaction..
But if you had been assaulting a airline Capt in uniform in a hotel lobby in Indonesia you would immediately be in a lot of trouble.
Different world , nothing to do with Lion air, it could have been anybody in Indonesia...

That is one of the most despicable events it has ever been my misfortune to view. I sincerely hope the young lady may have some relatives who may take some action if the authorities fail to do anything.

And you would have been the one likely to end up in jail because this is Indonesia and not the UK or the USA.

Absolutely disgraceful incident. I to would have had no choice but to intervene, knowing that I would probably suffer consequences.
What may happen in your country is different in another.
"Lest we forget" Remember this incident last year?
Pilots fight
However assaulting a civilian in public for such an incident should result in instant dismissal. The worker should also sue for damages. However Indonesians probably have their own agenda.

I only wanted an aisle seat
What the hell is wrong with people these days?
