BA Captain speaks out about the shocking behavior of pilot Mike Beaton, who was recently sacked by British Airways. This pilot, known as a First Officer, openly bragged to his colleagues about snorting cocaine off a woman’s bare breasts in South Africa before attempting to fly a fully loaded plane back to the UK. The incident has left flight crews at the airline feeling betrayed and disgusted.
A captain at British Airways, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed the disappointment felt by pilot colleagues towards Beaton’s actions. When asked about the possibility of a pilot being impaired by alcohol in the cockpit, the captain replied, “It’s extremely rare. Unthinkable.”
Following Beaton’s misconduct, British Airways has instructed its employees to report any concerns they may have regarding senior colleagues using drugs. This move comes in response to the disturbing text messages Beaton sent to a stewardess, proudly describing his wild night in Johannesburg. He boasted about engaging in illicit activities with two women and two men, including consuming shots, finishing a bottle of vodka, snorting cocaine off a topless woman, and engaging in sexual activities. Despite his intoxicated state, Beaton still attempted to fly a plane back to London.
Beaton’s reprehensible behavior marks a significant fall from grace. He resides in a luxurious £750,000 home in Devon with his Polish wife and their young daughter. The couple operates a successful luxury treehouse retreat business called Happy Owls, which was featured in The Times’ list of top 12 treehouse hotels this year.
Beaton’s mother has a military background, having served as an officer in the RAF and currently holding a position as a magistrate in Peterborough. She lives with her husband, an RAF pilot who has flown every member of the Royal Family. His impressive career led to him being invested as a Member of the Royal Victorian Order.
Instances of pilots being under the influence before operating a flight are extremely rare, as confirmed by our confidential pilot source. One notable incident involving British Airways crew occurred in 2000 when a captain and a first officer were filmed drinking excessively in Barcelona prior to a flight to Gatwick. The captain allegedly consumed seven bottles of beer and a bottle of wine, while the first officer had at least eight pints of beer. After the incident came to light, the captain resigned, and the first officer was dismissed.
Following Beaton’s termination, British Airways emphasized their commitment to safety, stating, “Safety is always our top priority. The matter was reported to the CAA, and this individual is no longer employed by us.”
