And Ireland have become the first country in the world to legalise gay marriage via a constitutional referendum. What isn't good, however, is that an executive is walking free after a prison sentence for abusing her powers was cancelled. Former Korean Air executive Heather Cho, who was jailed for a fit she threw on a flight over how she was served nuts, walked free Friday when an appeals court suspended her sentence. Cho, the daughter of Korean Air's chairman, was sentenced to a year in jail in February. On Friday, Seoul's High Court reduced the sentence to 10 months - and then released her on two years' probation. If she runs afoul of the probation restrictions at any point in the next two years, she'll be back in jail. Cho was working for Korean Air on December 5 when, as a first-class passenger on an international flight, an attendant served her macadamia nuts in a bag. Cho wanted them on a plate and demanded the plane go back to the gate at New York's JFK airport so a crew member could be kicked off the flight. I too would expect a higher standard of service in first class, but ejecting a flight attendant is not the way to address the issue. Instead, she could've said something like "excuse me, sir/ma'am, shouldn't you be serving first-class passengers their nuts on a plate instead of in a bag?" and they can sort out the issue without inconveniencing everyone on board.
