A BRITISH Airways pilot sacked for snorting cocaine off a woman’s bare breasts between flights is back in the cockpit.
We revealed in 2023 how married Mike Beaton, pictured above, boasted of his drink and drug orgy to a pal, admitting: “I’ve been a very naughty boy.”
BA bosses cancelled a flight Beaton was due to pilot from Johannesburg to London, drug-tested him and sacked him.
But the dad of one has returned to the skies, having convinced the Civil Aviation Authority he is a reformed character.
He has now completed four flights for Bournemouth-based air freight carrier European Cargo.
An aviation source said: “I think it’s disgusting that he was allowed to fly planes again after what he did.
“The CAA should have banned him from the flight deck for life.”
European Cargo said it did not discuss personnel matters but that all pilots met CAA standards.
The CAA said that a pilot’s medical certificate was suspended if they used drugs.
It added: “The medical would only be reinstated if we were completely satisfied.”
