A 32 year-old woman surnamed Park, who reportedly was in the same first class cabin as Heather Cho of “nut rage” fame criticized Korean Air’s immature action to offer a model airplane and calendar instead of apologizing.

According to Yonhap news agency, Park received a call from Korean Air ten days after she first called them to complain. She expected the company to make an official apology, but representatives only asked her to defend it if she were interviewed by the media.

“The company asked me to tell the media that I received an apology from them. Later, they announced an official but insincere apology because they were worried about their image and it made me angrier,” said Park.

Park previously testified to the prosecution about Heather Cho’s involvement in verbal abuse and violence. Cho allegedly returned the plane back to the gate in JFK International airport on Dec. 5, to kick off a flight attendant.
