If you'd fly a Korean airline, you could have violent and insane too! What a strange remark. Are you a xenophobic?. Er, no. It was a joke (no doubt a poor one), but based on real experience (and if you know anything about Korea, you'd know that Koreans can be ... feisty). On what basis would you attempt to justify such racist remarks? Guys, I think you're taking his words too seriously. I'm Korean and I see some truth to what he says. I agree he exaggerated a little but if I heard that, I'd just laugh and take it as what it is: a joke, so just chill. Didn't a pilot on an Air Canada flight go stark raving bonkers [1] a while back, and the aeroplane got diverted to Ireland as a result? [1] IANAdoctor http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27808624/ ("Pilot has mid-flight mental breakdown") http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7217977.stm ("Pilot breakdown diverts flight") From another report in www.ctvbc.ctv.ca :- "It said the pilot asked the flight attendants to ask passengers if any of them was a qualified pilot, but when none was found, one of the stewardesses revealed that she held a current commercial pilot's licence and an out-of-date licence for reading cockpit instruments." It doesn't seem to have generated an investigation in either .ie or ..ca being described as a "medical emergency" WRT the emergency action taken. |
