A British Airways flight attendant was discovered completely naked in a lavatory, apparently smoking meth and babbling incoherently, on a flight from the West Coast to London. He’d reportedly locked himself in the bathroom, where other crew found him naked with the drugs.
Witnesses said he was “smoking crystal meth” and appeared high and incoherent. When confronted, he reportedly admitted, “I’ve been a very naughty boy.” This is a crewmember that’s been featured in the BA safety video and worked for the airline since 2018.
Known for his flamboyant lifestyle on social media, he regularly posted photos of nights out and his travels. He’s described as a “party animal” and had already been under investigation by BA for previous unspecified conduct before this incident.
The flight continued to London Heathrow and police boarded the aircraft on arrival, removing the crewmember. As one passenger put it, it’s “beyond comprehension that a crew member was naked in the loo smoking meth at 35,000 feet.”
He was charged with drug possession and indecent exposure. He has since been suspended by British Airways, and the airline confirmed an internal investigation is underway.
According to the airline,
Safety is always our top priority and we expect the highest standards from our colleagues, both on and off duty. This individual is no longer working.
At first I thought the plea in the court case was just an update on the British Airways flight attendant who stripped naked and danced in business class while on a cocaine binge. That flight attendant was never named, that I’m aware of.
Both incidents occurred on flights between the U.S. West Coast and London. Except the earlier incident was coke and court papers report this as meth. Plus, no business class dancing this time. So go figure, British Airways seems to have this happening a lot.
That, plus an entire crew nearly kicked out of a resort after a drunken fight, crew fabricating a mugging to cover up a wild night in Rio and a flight attendant investigated for offering sex to passengers.
I’m not sure I agree with the indecent exposure, he was just minding his own business IN the lavatory, having the time of his life. Not his fault the FAs swung open the door to expose him & all his glory 😛
I swear, if I go back to working for the airlines in a front-line position, this is exactly how I want to go out.
Congratulations on getting a photo of the guy, even if it looks like some bad AI image.
haolenate – your response is one of the most ignorant I have seen lately. The headline stated facts – he was naked.
Hey Gary, is he the guy in the photo at top of the story? If not, I’d suggesting dropping it. Even if it’s AI generated, it could be problematic if another FA looks similar to the pic.
Just a thought. Have a great weekend.
Why can’t it be a female flight attendant? It seems like it’s almost always a male messing up!
I guess he forgot the “Primarily here for your safety” part?
Sad. Really just sad.
Happens all around the world to various people every minute of the day. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, grandmothers, teenagers, etc. In a dirty airplane toilet with bacteria, odor, mold & mildew no less…..one of the filthiest places anywhere to be found. The fellow needs professional help NOT criticism. This planet is spinning out of control & many folks simply cannot cope with it. And that is not at all surprising to me. He’s unemployed, will be out of money for rent and food. And we wonder how people end up homeless. Think about his family. I pray a lot for folks like him and others where Life has gotten the best of them.
@Dave Flaat — “Welcome to the internet… have a look around…”
This man is supposed to be there for our safety but is a safety hazard. He should be banned pending proof that he is rehabilitated unless he, prior to his discovery, admitted he had a problem and underwent monitoring.
His drug behavior could have killed passengers if there was an accident and he was high.
He should not be executed.
@David R. Miller. He was not naked in public until they opened the locked door. Good news, indecent ecposure won’t be anything he pleads guilty to. It is a thrown in charge.
But we are here for your safety! Good grief.
Bow Chicka bow wow!.. BA. never fails to disappoint when we come to depravity!
“It’s not his fault that he can’t behave
Society’s made him go astray
Perhaps if we’re nice, he’ll go away
Perhaps he’ll go away, he’ll go away-ay”
