WikipediaThree British Airways cabin crew risk losing their jobs for running naked through a hotel during a booze-fuelled orgy.
The three staff members were sent home back to London and suspended after a game of ‘spin the bottle’ in Singapore went a step too far.
An insider claimed the group smuggled alcohol off the plane in a bid to ‘have a good time’ after their 14-hour flight from Heathrow.
PexelsAfter getting tipsy at their hotel in Singapore, the woman and two men are said to have dared to strip and run down a corridor while banging on the doors of other guests.
The source told The Sun:
Drinking is far too expensive in Singapore for the young fleet, so provisions are taken for everyone to have a good time after.
There were some frisky crew on this plane. There was snogging and stripping and fumbling between the crew, who were all naked.
It didn’t take long for ‘spin the bottle’ to start – it’s a drinking game with ludicrous and increasingly daring forfeits designed to get everyone steaming drunk.
Suddenly, three were tasked with running up and down the corridors to create havoc. In their state they didn’t think this was a bad idea.
PexelsUnfortunately for the trio, a British Airways official was one of those disturbed by the late-night antics, prompting him to report their ‘disgusting’ actions back to BA bosses in London.
Sources also say staff at the Singapore hotel are fed up with the crew’s behaviour after allegations of sexual assault and a staff member being thrown in the pool.
A separate anonymous source told UNILAD how BA crew often find themselves drunker than usual during Singapore stop off, due to the jet lag that ensues after a 14-hour night flight as crew often find themselves drinking after being awake for more than 24 hours.
PexelsThe source added that staff are always given ‘bus briefings’ about their behaviour down route as they’re reminded they’re still representing the company.
BA has said it ‘does not tolerate unruly behaviour’ by staff and is investigating the claims.
Meanwhile, people have taken to social media to defend the crew ‘letting their hair down and just having fun’, with one person even claiming he’d be ‘more inclined to fly BA’ now having previously ‘had them down as stuffy and self-righteous.’
PexelsOne person wrote on Facebook:
It’s funny but naughty at the same time, I’m sure we’ve all pulled drunken stunts in our time. It’s not worth sacking them over, I’m sure their embarrassment is punishment enough.
Another added:
What’s it got to do with their job? Were they on the plane or in the airport? No. If everyone got the sack when they were drunk there would be 99 per cent unemployment.
