If you followed reports of earlier this year, you might be surprised to learn it’s happened again. According to the BBC, a different flight attendant is accused of a similar offense.

The outlet reports that the flight attendant was working a California to London flight. A witness described him as “babbling” and “sweating,” which are worrisome behaviors when your primary job is to look after passenger safety.

The flight attendant was “stood down” by his on-board manager after ignoring his duties during the in-flight safety checks. At that point, he allegedly complained of cramps and went to the bathroom to change his clothes. Some time later, a coworker opened the door and found him standing in his birthday suit.

The flight attendant’s colleagues attended to him for the duration of the flight due to his diluted pupils and an alarmingly high heart. Paramedics were waiting to take him to the hospital when the plane landed in London.

British Airways keeps making headlines

The flight attendant was charged with performing an aviation duty while impaired by drugs. He pleaded guilty in Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court.

Clothes-shedding flight attendants aren’t the only reason British Airways has been in the headlines lately. Recently, so his family could watch him fly. Since 9/11 there are strict protocols surrounding the opening of cockpit doors during flight.

Here’s hoping their next flight is uneventful.
