A cathay pacific pilot who put his hand up a stewerdess’s blouse after drinking 4 glasses of wine escaped with a fine of just £68
Cathay pacific also told captain Robin Tayler, 44 that he wont face any disiplinery action company spokesman kevin bubel said “he was off duty and flying for leisure so its not related to his job”
Married Tayler grabbed the stewerdesses armwhen the cabin lights were dimmed on the 12 hour flight from Hong Kong to London.
He told the 37 y old flight attendent ” you are so nice” then followed her to the galley and put his hand up her blouse.
he touched her on the waist just under her bra a court in Hong Kong heard.
The woman pulled back and told him “im not the type of girl you think if youever do it again my husband will kill you”
taylor said nothing and grinned at her.
She ran to the inflight service manager who found Taylor swaying from side to side with a glass of red wine in his hand, the crew boss told him why dont you go back to your seet your drunk and led taylor and sat him down.
The woman later filed a complaint to cathay pacific and contacted the police.
she wrote in her complaint to the airline captain taylor consumed a large amount of alcohol to give himself the courage to take advantage of me.
British born Taylor who earns £8,000 a month at cathay pacific and has lived in Honk Kong for more than ten years denied indecent assault in sept 2002 but magistrate thomas tsang finding him guilty sais “the defendent was fully aware of his actions and conduct”
Taylers lawyer said “it was out of character.”

This guy got off a little too lightly if you ask me. Like someone mentioned, if it were in the USA or maybe even the UK, a £68 fine would not be the only charge. I guess it would be indecent assault and carry a short prison sentence and more than likely the termination of that persons contract.

Steve, I think the Aussie translation of minger would be ‘bush pig’. When in Aus, for some reason I was known as the bush pig magnet !

“Somewhat unpleasant on the eye”, could be a way of describing the scenario? Although I’m sure the lady may be justified in saying the same about Captain Taylor.:p
Is it just me or will there be a reality soap programme, set onboard long haul flights in the very near ?

Was this drunkard a non-rev passenger while doing this? Had this happened to a U.S. based carrier pilot, he would have lost his job and faced considerable jail time, let alone being fined the equivalent of 68 quid, given how substancial the evidence is.
