British Airways cabin crew instructed the airline they have been mugged to be able to masks an evening of “consuming and debauchery” in line with a model of occasions instructed by Brazilian authorities, surveillance footage, and eyewitness accounts.

British Airways flight 248 from Rio to London Heathrow needed to be cancelled on September sixth. And a few are connecting the dots to those three crewmembers, who had supposedly been robbed. Twice. First at a gasoline station the place they’d been dropped off by taxi, after which once more in an Uber by somebody on a motorcycle. A 3rd flight attendant was robbed after blacking out on the road following a drink at a bar.

Besides that police say surveillance digicam footage exhibits that the tales being instructed aren’t true. The crewmembers engaged in “an evening of heavy consuming and drug use” and the theft story was only a cowl for being unable to work the flight again to London.

Two flight attendance are on video consuming through the hours of the evening they have been supposedly mugged. (Whereas one cellphone was apparently taken, officers say there was no mugging.)
The third crewmember drank sufficient to black out, and reportedly had cocaine in his possession.

In accordance with an assistant police chief, “They created these tales to attempt to most likely justify inappropriate conduct outdoors the corporate’s guidelines.” In the meantime the top of particular tourism help police provides,

What’s shocking is how a crew that has such an necessary function spends the entire evening consuming and utilizing medication, figuring out that the following day they might have the accountability of taking good care of dozens of people that would journey for hours.

In accordance with British Airways, although, the crew who ‘made up’ these tales wasn’t scheduled to work the cancelled flight again – which is a thriller – and defers extra feedback to native police. That’s most likely essentially the most weird a part of this story. In the event that they didn’t trigger the cancellation, what doable motive was there for a made up story?

Not too long ago a British Airways pilot snorted coke off of a topless lady, then tried to fly passengers to London.

And again within the day British Airways Combined Fleet cabin crew reportedly would social gathering fairly extensively on the Ole Sereni Lodge in Nairobi, however a number of worldwide places have been sizzling spots.

A number of years in the past flight attendants at BA have been instructed they needed to cease working bare by the halls of their layover accommodations. Nevertheless it’s often simply been antics in good enjoyable, not onerous medication or faux police studies.
