Drunken BA Crew suspended from duty

BA pilots suspended amid drink claims Two British Airways pilots and a female cabin crew member have been suspended after being arrested in Norway on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol. They were arrested by airport police after other BA staff alerted them to an "alleged breach of the airline's rules about alcohol consumption before duty", the airline said. The pilots - thought to be Captain William McAulliffe, 50, and first officer David Ryan, 26 - were detained at Oslo airport on Tuesday morning shortly before going on duty on a BA scheduled flight to the UK. Also detained was a cabin crew member - thought to be purser Michele Giannandrea, 48. A BA spokesperson said: "All three members of staff have been suspended. A formal disciplinary process has begun." Story filed: 12:47 Wednesday 12th November 2003 BA ...always stingy with the grog to the paying passengers. I suppooose they have a habit to support behind the curtain. QANTAS is not much better. They made me feel quite guilty after swigging my third bottle of free libation after leaving a non drinking country. |

All pilots including SIA pilots should undergo breath-analyser tests prior each flight and drinks to pilots to be tabulated and restricted.

Have you any hard reason to believe that SIA pilots are stronger on the
booze than most other airline's pilots? The BA pilots are infamous in this regard. And drinking in Norway! They must have brought their own drinks with them from Britain! Norwegians only get drunk when they leave the country (ever been on a TG from CPH to Bangkok?) unless they have been brewing and burning themselves that is! Nik. "ardeedee" wrote in message ...

I said "all pilots including SIA" and did not single out SIA - which is a cross cultural opportunity employer. "Nik" spamavoid.deletethis.mnjensen@netviga tor.com wrote in message ...

A few other Asian airlines are the same. I have been greeted in Swedish once
on a internal TG flight from Bangkok to Puket. The pilot who crashed the Air China MD11 a few years ago was from Italy and I know a few pilots of who are not Chinese decent flying on both Dragon Air and Cathay. I wonder if the pattern could be rather common among Asian airlines. Why then particular SIA? Nik. "ardeedee" wrote in message ...

There was a BA pilot in our hotel in Prague that closed down the bar at
the Hilton when hubby and I were there (and said Captain was drinking the hard stuff, nothing wussy like beer!) |
