A British Airways flight attendant was caught dancing naked in business class on BA 286 from San Francisco to London Heathrow on May 27th following a reported drug binge in the lavatory.
Shortly after takeoff, passengers and crew noticed the male cabin crew member seeming agitated and distracted. He allegedly began using cocaine openly in a bathroom on the aircraft. Eyewitnesses reported that he then returned to the business class cabin and stripped naked and performed what was described by witnesses as a “wild, drug-induced dance.”
Other flight attendants intervened, attempting to restrain the man. He became aggressive, but crew managed to isolate him away from passengers until the aircraft landed at Heathrow. Police boarded the aircraft on arrival and took the flight attendant into custody on charges of drug possession, public indecency, and disorderly conduct.
British Airways apologized for the “deeply distressing” incident and emphasized zero-tolerance for drug use by staff.
There’s something about those reserved British, with 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.

San Francisco must have made quite an impression on the flight attendant. (sarcasm)
Friends of mine who are still flying in the UK (I am an ex flight attendant) tell me how poor the standards are of some of the new recruits. This is mainly due to the very poor salaries offered these days.
Unfortunately when you’re hellbent on paying crew as little as possible, these are the type of crew you end up with. A lot of airlines would rather pay peanuts, get monkeys and recruit constantly than hire people who treat it as a long term career and pay them accordingly.
Wow. I thought airlines did random drug tests. There was something more going on there than just coke.
Nice to see BA making investments in their in-flight entertainment program.
I believe in gender discrimination. Attractive naked woman, no punishment. Asked man, prison and compensation to passengers for risk of blindness.
Seriously, this person should have a forced mental evaluation and suspended from his job pending treatment and reimbursement of periodic drug testing.
@On Time.
Then how is he affording cocaine on that poor salary?
He was probably pleasant and attentive to the passengers.
I was intrigued for a minute until ai saw he was male. On second thought how disgusting. If female nothing wrong with a strop club in the sky
Another Brit. Again, remember that next time you feel the impulse to rant about ugly Americans.
Nothing new in the airline industry. Former Miami Flight Attend here, and I clearly remember the insanely drug use amongst the crew members including captains. It is one of the nicest jobs ever, but those long hours, lack sleep and obnoxious passegers can take a toll on anyone. On top of it, I remember a number of Flight Attends having a lot of personal and emotional problems who had become Flight Attends just to get their minds off their problems. More like a get away job.
To be clear, “I don’t think some recreational drug use is necessarily that bad,” in theory (though flight attendants are supposed to be drug free).
This is the comment from another well known blocker. For the safety of passengers, we have to have zero tolerance for addictions among those that are a part of the airline and air travel industry. Enabling this thought pattern and behavior has just destroyed any validity as well as any credability his (the other well know air blog) blog has. To be a part of this industry we do not enable others by giving them a weapon to endanger the culture of air safety and harm others. Giving the other blogger a forum is like giving a box cutter to a 9/11 hijacker.
Capitalize upon this Gary Leff.
Regards all.
Where is the video? Someone had to have caught this on camera. I need to examine the footage to determine if this story is true.
Cocaine usually gives a nice calm buzz.. A testing of potency will tell if it was mixed with another drug. I tried it years ago. I understood why it’s addicting instantly and never touched it again. This had to be inside job, getting cocaine onto a commercial flight. Hope this FA gets the help he needs.
BA now boarding: cocaine class. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your complimentary in-flight dickspin.
Good help is tuff to find these days.Bring back the bags of peanuts.. As much money that Airlines make , give away luggage, cell phones, free trips, cars, homes…..
Apparently you can buy all kinds of drugs in San Francisco.
So… how big was it?
i saw this on BA UsA to UK over 25 years where i saw two of the attendants sniffing white stuff as they hung around the kitchen area i did notify BA but got no response The issue is obviously with the poor mgt structure at BA
Just another stupid homo excited about pride month. Nothing here, move along
@Creditan you can buy all kinds of drugs in all kinds of places. This is not a SF thing, despite what some people on here may think.

Real thoughtful statement from a Delta Airlines captain, Helmke.
I realize society has sunk to new levels but I want to find this hard to believe.
To Helldoge: totally with you on that. If this is true stop the world I wanna get off!
