Sacked Cathay stewardess admits she was wrong

A Thai airline stewardess at the centre of a controversy over a coffee-throwing threat has formally resigned from her job at Cathay Pacific, and urged the public not to hold a grudge against Hong Kong's flag carrier.

The flight attendant posted the message on her Facebook on Monday night, not long after Cathay Pacific made an announcement that she was no longer listed as an employee working for the airline.

"Today [Monday] I resigned as a flight attendant for Cathay Pacific Airline to show responsibility for the problem that has happened and the damaged done to the image of the airline,'' the message said.

Discussion 4, I admire your request and basically you are absolutely right. Unfortunately there is this one person out of Thailand who is willing to destroy the country for his own interests and fortune....Maybe you should mail your noble dream to him....but I am extremely doubtful he will ever listen...

24 years service with Cathay would indicate an employee who was neither immature nor inadequately trained. It does not change the outcome but perhaps there are deeper issues to this story of which we are unaware which should perhaps give pause to our rush to judgement and condemnation

In the past couple of days, a school was burned and three or more teachers killed along with a Thai soldier in the south of Thailand but a posting of a desire of a coffee threat against a Shinawatra after the flight ended and no chance of fulfillment (no coffee was ever thrown)gets more attention and Thais up in protest than the daily deaths of innocents. Something is drastically out of whack in Thailand.

utterly irresponsible, after 24 years on the job, it seems she had suffered burn-out.
How on earth can someone in that position let her personal motives take the upperhand.

Cathay acted as a professional carrier should act, discreet removel through the backdoor.

It's amazing how people can learn to hate another human-being, or become brainwashed over politics. Why would an airline stewardess hate anyone, or even care who Thaksin's daughter is? I'm glad she resigned her job.

It is not acceptable to any one and She understood her mistake that was important. At the same time, I would request the concern person to realized that there are people having such hatred feeling on each others which is very dangerous for the future of Thailand. Please you find a soluation as soon as possible my humble request.

I will continue, Likely to endanger other passengers through someone taking the law into there own hands.Not every one would have stopped at saying they" felt like throwing coffee in his face".

Let's not made a hero out of her by repeated publishing as headline news. What she did was irresponsible and wrong. Period. She can have her personal prejudice but never bring that to work.

Despite how I much I also despise the Shinawatra family and their cronies in PT, I also cannot in anyway support her behavior in this incident. The manifest is strictly confidential information and exposing it to the public in any fashion is unacceptable and is in breach of passenger privacy and security.
