That Was The Week That Was: 16 – 20 April

Written by Aviation Advocacy on . Posted in Air traffic management, Airlines, Airports, Competition

The use of the ‘-gate’ suffix to discuss any scandal stems, of course, from Watergate, and the subsequent reactions, finally leading to an impeachment resolution – not that such a thing is even thinkable today – but, strictly, under its own terms, Watergate should properly be known as Watergate-gate.  We need to urgently make people understand this, because now aviation has its very own water-gate, brought to you from the fun-loving family of the Chairman of Korean Airlines.  First, there was nut-gate, as one daughter rampaged around the first class cabin complaining about the nuts on board.  Presumably she excluded herself.  Now, a younger sister has thrown a glass of water at an advertising agency executive – who has not been tempted? – and on Monday, Cho Hyun-min was suspended from work.  Ms Cho works in marketing, so she will be pleased to note that the coverage spelt Korean Airlines correctly.
