Good Luck.
vice-president of Korean Air has quit over embarrassing incident involving bag of nuts. Cho Hyun-ah, daughter of airline's president, was on flight from New York to South Korea on December 5. She was sitting in first class cabin when flight attendant served her snack of a bag of macadamia nuts. Ms Cho, 40, was angry that nuts were not given to her on plate. She shouted at the flight attendant and told him the training manual said the nuts should be served on a plate. Cho forced man to kneel down and apologise. She ordered him to leave airplane, which had to return to departure gate to let him off. The flight was delayed for 20 minutes because of Cho's actions.

incident is big news in Korea, where journalists are calling it "nut rage". Aviation officials in Korea could take legal action against Cho. They said her actions could have put 250 passengers on flight in danger. Officials may also question captain for turning the aircraft round without good reason. Cho's father asked Korean public to forgive "foolish" actions of his daughter. He told reporters: "I am making my apology both as head of Korean Air and as father. I beg the people to blame me for current situation, because everything is my fault….I failed to properly educate my daughter." He has also removed his daughter from all posts she held in his companies.
