A crew member said the man was "was stripping off and dancing in the toilet" and was "completely out of it" according to reporting from the Sun. They called the alleged actions of the man,

who is reportedly suspected of using drugs prior to the incident, "dangerous".

With 470 passengers to attend to, fuming fellow crew members went without breaks to cover their allegedly raucous colleague, who was discovered naked in a business class toilet.

The steward, a male, is said to have gone missing on board the flight from San Francisco to London’s Heathrow airport and colleagues tracked him down to the Club World cabin loo.

After his alleged bad behaviour was discovered, he was escorted to first class and then buckled into a seat for the rest of the journey, which still had over 10 hours to go.

last Sunday.

The man received medical attention and was taken from the Airbus A-380-800 in a wheelchair.

One worker said according to The Sun: “We think the guy popped pills when he was meant to be working. It is an extraordinary thing to do. The plane was cruising at 37,000ft over the

Atlantic, but this bloke seemed to be higher than anyone else.

“Rather than asking passengers ‘chicken or beef’, he was stripping off and dancing in the toilet." The worker reportedly said to the same outlet that he was 'out of it' adding it was a long

time before they were found.

“Not only is it really dangerous, it is a crazy way to end your BA career. This job can do ridiculous things to people, but staging a one-man disco in a Club World toilet is a new one on

me.”

The Daily Star has approached BA and the Metropolitan Police for comment.

Reports indicate the steward has been suspended from duty by BA as an investigation continues.

60,000 people had been left out of pocket, the DBT said.

BAs was named for failing to pay £231,276 to 2,165 workers.

employment.
