It was not quite the mile high club after British Airways pilot Mike Beaton allegedly had a cocaine-fuelled party in Johannesburg on a night off and was unable to fly his plane back to London, British media reported.

Beaton, who is married and has a child, was allegedly snorting cocaine off bare bosoms in Joburg just hours before he was due to fly a plane full of engers back to Heathrow Airport, the Sun reported.

The Jordan Belfort inspired pilot caused a 12-hour delay of the plane that cost British Airways around £100,000 sterling.

This information came to light after Beaton himself bragged about it to a colleague who sounded the alarm and informed the company of what he had done.

He allegedly texted his colleague with the details of his white night.

Based on the text messages between Beaton and his colleague reported in the Sun, it is understood the pilot was partying with two local men, a female Welsh holiday maker and a young Spanish woman.

"I've lost my shirt somewhere and one of the local lads produces a plate with a few lines of coke.

"So then there's a debate about whose chest is the best to do a bump off,” the text messages quoted in The Sun read.

Beaton had to wait for a new flight the next day and was flown back as a enger.

A replacement first officer for the flight had to be arranged.

Upon arriving at Heathrow, Beaton was tested for drugs and fired when the results came back positive, Sky News reported.

“Safety is always our top priority. The matter was referred to the CAA [Civil Aviation Authority] and this individual no longer works for us,” British Airways was quoted saying.

Besides losing his job, Beaton could be banned from flying in general, should authorities choose to do so after an investigation is conducted.

May we fail to catch the plane on the day such a one is billed to man the cockpit.

🥴

The good lord probably uses the lady to expose this blockhead! This one is a Parrot, not a pilot, I actually hate flying, but seriously there's no choice, entrusting my life in the hand of an individual I barely know is creepy

Expensive career down the drain. Why social media is dangerous

That was very necessary. You live a reckless life at your own risk. But the moment your recklessness put the life of others at risk, you are to dance to the music

SHOULD be banned please, we can't afford to loose lives and properties to plane crashes anymore.

• Hundreds of engers could be victims.
• It could crash into a market or any other high-traffic area, resulting in more human casualties.
• The plane itself is worth millions of USD and it'll be pathetic incuring such losses simply because you decided to get high when going high.
• People's properties could be lost on the ground when it'll crash.
• Families and employees will be thrown into a huge state of tragedy.
• People like us who struggle with anxiety will be have out BP high thinking about how our own pilots could be high also when on air.

Omo... the losses are too much, the guy should be jailed for attempted murder fr.

Hmmm cocaine news again, one thing I have noticed about this cocaine brouhaha is that some parts of western world aren't really keen on ending the cocaine scourge because their politicians are also into drugs, just make sure you aren't caught.

Bad
