Way too much of an over-reaction, I am astonished by this. A jail sentence??

From my point of view, all she did was excessive discipline to a subordinate, which at worse should have resulted in a public apology - bad enough punishment in Asian society for an executive to lose face by apologizing to a subordinate.

She went a little overboard trying to get the crew to follow standards, big deal - rather than 1 yr in prison, I wish we could clone her so she could run some of the airlines here in the USA.
