Lots of half-baked, groundless speculation and not a single attempt to interview any of the parties involved in the "story"? Check.<br /><br />3.

This process took more than 10 minutes, so to Koreans who are used to putting efficiency above all else, they could not understand why they could not take that 10 minutes to board, which would have made everyone happy."<br /><br />The author couldn't understand that international flight regulations and laws governing the boarding of aircraft applied to her fellow Korean reporters? If only Lufthansa understood Koreans' unique culture.Anonymous_Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004938950956224806noreply@blogger.com
