Cathay Pacific Fires Cabin Crew for Discrimination and Mocking Passengers

Cathay Pacific Airways has fired three flight attendants for mocking non-English speaking passengers during a Sunday flight. The Hong Kong carrier took action after details of the alleged incident aboard a flight from Chengdu in Sichuan province to Hong Kong on Sunday (May 21) were posted online. The passengers wrote online posts about their alleged experiences. They said flight attendants complained among themselves about passengers in English and Cantonese, and made fun of a passenger for asking for a carpet instead of a blanket.
