SEOUL — Korean Air Lines Chairman Cho Yang-ho said on Friday he had scolded his daughter for expelling a crew member from a flight over the way she was served nuts in first class. The nut rage incident, as it has become known, has stirred public outrage and ridicule in South Korea and raised questions about the power of the country's “chaebol” conglomerates. Heather Cho, the former head of in-flight service before she resigned over the nut case, is on trial for breaking aviation laws and conspiring with other company executives to force crew members to lie about the Dec. 5 incident. Cho apologized to the crew chief who was forced off the flight and promised to ensure that he would not face reprimand from the company. The flight crew member, Kim Do-hee, testified that Cho had became abusive as she confronted the crew about service, shouting at them as they kneeled on the floor. – Reuters
