Thai flight attendant sacked for posting hateful web message

A flight attendant was sacked from her job after she had written on her webpage comments to the effect that she thought of hurling coffee into a passenger's face because that passenger happened to be the daughter of someone she disliked so much. The stewardess caused a row in the Thai online communities last week who had posted hateful comments about the daughter of former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The Hong Kong-based airlines company said Monday on its Thailand Facebook page that the posting of a passenger's personal data was unauthorized and against the airline's privacy rules. It said, without further elaborating, that the flight attendant was "no longer an employee in the company." Thaksin Shinawatra was ousted from power in a 2006 coup d'état and currently lives in self-imposed exile abroad.
