    A Captain for EVA air has been suspended after getting in an argument with his First Officer over what the First Officer considered an unsafe taxi speed (30 kts.) After the FO attempted to caution the Captain of his concerns several times he manually applied the brakes.

    The Captain then proceeded to punch the poor FO's hand repeatly causing bruising, then continued on his way to Taipei..

    The 777W's QAR (Quick Access Recorder) did not record speeds outside of company limmits.

    EWA Air is investigating the incident.

    If the Captain loses his job, Korean Air might want to pick him up, he would fit in perfectly....

    I have a number of rules which I stick to ...

    * Never fly an Asian airline, their CRM is horrendous
    * Never fly an African airline
    * Stay away from Turkish airlines, all of them
    * Never fly Russian airlines (these days that's pretty easy)
    * Further, I'm not touching LOT, Tarom and several of the east European ones
    * There are some south American one I stay away from
    * Will never fly Egypt Airlines

    I will never book these and when re-booked I will refuse the reservation.
