A CATHAY Pacific flight attendant is out of a job after writing on her Facebook page that she wanted to throw coffee in a passenger's face because she was the daughter of someone she dislikes intensely: former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The flight attendant caused a stir in Thai online communities last week for posting hostile comments about Thaksin's youngest daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra. She also posted a picture of Paetongtarn's seat number on a Bangkok-to-Hong Kong flight she worked on November 25.
Cathay Pacific said on Monday on its Thailand Facebook page that the posting of a passenger's personal information was unauthorized and against its privacy rules. It said, without elaborating, the flight attendant is "no longer an employee."
The flight attendant said in her post she called her personal adviser to ask "if it was all right to throw something on (Paetongtarn) on this flight."
"Paetongtarn, I didn't throw coffee in her face today but she had no clue that I will keep on fighting until your clan can no longer live like fleas on the Thai soil," she wrote.
Cathay Pacific did not release the name of the flight attendant, whose Facebook handle is Honey Lochanachai. The flight attendant said on Facebook she resigned in order to take responsibility.
