Don't mock the people from the north

    Being a flight attendant is a service industry. If you don't want to serve and interact with people, then work as a taxidermist.

    The passenger asked for a blanket. There is no need to be bitchy, condescending , mocking about it...the type of behaviour that is found in primary school. playgrounds.

    The tone was nasty, and those who said those mocking words assumed that they were superior in the English language, except they couldn't string a sentence together grammatically, and was semi broken English.

    If you are an air steward, you are supposed to be well travelled, tolerant. Passenger wants a blanket, give a blanket. What is the problem ? No need to mouth off about it. I am sure that there are many really nice pleasant airline crew , but tainted by these three. How many other passengers did they mock and treat badly ?

    The irony of anyone in the HK service industry mocking others for poor English is not lost on me

    On US airlines, it's in the flight attendant job description to be rude and mock passengers. Hong Kong - different rules.

    The immediate sacking of the staff did not allow a thorough investigation of the incident. This sends out a chilling message to the service industry that a complaint from a mainland citizen can immediately kill one’s career, regardless of the circumstances.

    In this generation of diversity and inclusion, any complain of racism or discrimination is going to get looked at very seriously and actions will be taken quick and severe. If not done, don't be surprise that index provider like HSI etc. simply decides to remove the company from their ESG index because it appears not socially inclusive. It happened before.. The social and governance element can be so broad that pretty much most things go...

    If it's recorded and posted online there are very few options for any airline in this day and age of social media. I'm sure CX execs didn't think this was that great PR for a big part of their targeted customer group.

    John Lee making it a bigger deal than what it needs to be is insane, as I posted before.

    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
