I heard a funny story in my Asian airline where years ago rioting Chinese passengers rushed forward on the main deck of a Jumbo after a diversion, looking for the pilots.

They rushed past the staircase and threw open the door at the end of the FCL cabin, which was the coat cupboard. 'Wah... where the pilot?'

Meanwhile the boys were watching from the top of the staircase, killing themselves laughing.

The press report I read indicated the passengers involved were not Chinese but Australian, New Zealand, Singaporean etc

You have a reference for that press report, Falcon99 ?

Overseas passports get issued to Chinese too....

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.....

Chinese tend to be extremely proud of their own country, but not its passports.

Identify ' em ? Yes, of course.

Deny 'em boarding ? Not at all, I'd even give 'em discounted tickets.

Till I have their hides in a country where I can nail 'em with everything the laws of that country have to offer :}
