Wife of Korean Air chief summoned over abuse allegations

South Korean police Monday summoned the wife of Korean Air chairman Cho Yang-ho to question her about allegations she abused and assaulted employees. Lee Myung-hee has been accused of physically or verbally abusing more than 10 former and current employees of Cho's Hanjin conglomerate, the parent of Korean Air. Lee said she felt "sorry for causing troubles" after arriving at a Seoul police agency for questioning Monday. The Cho family has been under mounting public criticism after company employees alleged they were subjected to mistreatment and tantrums. South Korean authorities are also looking into suspicions that the Cho family, including Cho Yang-ho, evaded taxes and used airline services to smuggle luxury goods. <br/>

Delta Air Lines is about to debut its new uniforms for flight attendants and other employees with designer Zac Posen. Delta has been preparing for months for the Tuesday launch of the new uniforms. Posen will make an appearance at New York LaGuardia Monday afternoon, around the same time that the first crew wearing the new uniforms for the debut will take off in Singapore for a flight to Tokyo. Posen will then appear at a Delta fashion show at Hartsfield-Jackson International early Tuesday morning in Atlanta, as employees don the new uniforms on flights and at airports across the carrier’s operations. While Delta employees have for years worn dark blue and red uniforms, the new collection includes a colour the airline dubs “Passport Plum.” <br/>
