British Airways crew members cooked up armed robbery story to cover up drugs and alcohol-fuelled night: Report

In one of the toughest policies by an airline, Cathay Pacific Ltd has notified on Thursday that all of its Hong Kong-based employees must get <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/coronavirus-vaccine">vaccinated</a> against <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/coronavirus">coronavirus</a> by August 31, or risk losing their jobs.

This rule is valid for the Chinese city-based flight attendants and pilots. Cathay said the need to segregate vaccinated crew from un-vaccinated ones have complicated the staff rostering process, something that the airline is struggling with because of Hong Kong’s strict quarantine rules on return.

The said rules have been made lenient for a crew that has attained a full vaccination against the novel coronavirus. Only fully vaccinated crew is allowed to operate to certain high-risk destinations, especially on 
“bubble” flights that are quarantine-free.

In a statement, the airline said that they “understand there will be some who cannot take a vaccine and we will look into accommodating them on a short-term basis where we can,".

However, the airline will “review the future employment of those who are unable to become vaccinated and assess whether they can continue to be employed as aircrew with Cathay Pacific."

After a previous warning that vaccinations might become compulsory, according to the company’s own figures around 90 per cent of their pilots and more than 65 per cent of the flight crew has already been vaccinated, or have vaccination appointments.

Different airlines have undertaken different policies to ensure the vaccination of their crew.

Earlier this week, US-based United Airlines said that from August onwards it would only allow fully vaccinated pilots and cabin crew to work on high-risk destinations flights. On the other hand, Delta Air Lines Inc announced last month that all its new hires would have to be vaccinated. &nbsp;

While Emirates has been providing free vaccination to its crew since January. The airlines also informed its airlines that they have to either get vaccinated or pay for regular covid tests to prove that they are not infected. &nbsp;

Cathay Pacific airlines tells employees 'get vaccinated or risk losing your job'

Korean Air on Wednesday was ordered to pay 20 million won ($17,770) to a flight attendant who was kicked off an aeroplane by the firm's heiress in 2014 in a now-infamous "nut rage" episode.&nbsp;

The incident, where heiress Cho Hyun-ah, angrily ejected the chief of the cabin crew from a taxiing aeroplane after being served macadamia nuts in a bag instead of a bowl, made global headlines.&nbsp;

The worker, Park Chang-jin, earlier sued Korean Air claiming that the firm — the South's flag carrier — unfairly demoted him to an ordinary cabin crew position for speaking out about the incident to the media.

He also sued the firm and Cho, seeking compensation for physical and psychological suffering. Cho, then the firm's vice president, had forced Park and another flight attendant to kneel before her to apologise.&nbsp;

A Seoul court accepted part of Park's argument and ordered Korean Air to pay him 20 million won but dismissed the suit against Cho. &nbsp;

Cho, a daughter of Korean Air chairman Cho Yang-ho, was sentenced to a year in jail in 2015 for violating aviation security and business practices laws but was freed five months later when an appeals court gave her a suspended jail term.

The super-wealthy owners of chaebols — sprawling conglomerates that dominate the world's 11th-largest economy — often attract controversy, but a series of scandals have made the Cho family one of the most notorious in the South.&nbsp;

The chairman, 69, was charged in October for embezzling more than 20 billion won from the firm and unfairly awarding contracts to companies controlled by his family members.&nbsp;

His wife, Lee Myung-hee, was probed several times this year for multiple assault allegations involving workers and was grilled this month for using company resources to illegally hire foreign housekeepers.&nbsp;

Cho Hyun-ah is also being investigated for the same charge.&nbsp;

A younger daughter and the firm's former marketing executive, Cho Hyun-min, was also accused earlier this year of throwing a drink at an advertising agency manager's face in a fit of rage during a business meeting.&nbsp;

Prosecutors dismissed the case, citing insufficient evidence.&nbsp;
