Don't mock the people from the north

Looking at the news last night on TVB Jade, PRC netcitizens were demanding the CE of HK apologise for this rude behaviour towards the people of China LOL

once something makes it online in China, it spreads like wildfire and damages the PR of any big companies. Them internet trolls fan the flames, demand heads roll etc etc

What kind of useless prick do you have to be to demand such an apology? Fragile mainland egos should really learn the term "like water off a duck's back".

Not defending the cabin crew. If it happened to me I would just tell them to go get f*d and vote with my feet next time.

People really need to learn to get over their precious selves.

When do HK residents get the same equal level apology for what the Mainland vistors have done to them? Been waiting for a while.

Patronizing their Ponzi economy and keeping them in the lap of luxury that they have become accustomed to? I'm sure the mainlanders are totally apologetic about that.

There are some references to the position being a service job, and then comparisons to the ideal candidates to justify the opprobrium thrown their way. Let’s be serious, exactly how many of the people in service jobs live up to that ideal? The only reason it became a big deal is because people chose to take offence (cf attitudes of polite indifference from a similar overlapping group when public servants did full bore dehumanisation with terms like cockroaches).

I don’t fly CX myself if I can’t help it because I find them haughty. Funnily enough, having had to take a flight on a mainland carrier once where the crew were actively hostile to the passengers (except one mother with a baby they liked to coo over, is that discrimination?) I don’t know if things have changed since I avoided them since, it seems a combination of foolishness and being unlucky that landed these people in trouble since it was discussing their frustrations with communication in a semi-public area, rather than an unprofessional direct interaction that did.

I haven't been able to watch the videos, just read a couple of articles about it...but.

The flight was from some city in China to Hong Kong China, the passenger was a mainlander...why would the passenger ask for stuff in English rather than Putonghua?

Seems engineered to me...

If someone can be fired over those few (I agree, inappropriate) words, I'm speechless.

My Mandarin is limited. However, I'm pretty sure I have been 'insulted' many, many times when I have flown on the mainland due to my limited linguistic ability. Should I have been offended? Should the flight attendants have been fired? Or do I just smile and forget.
