All text messages sent by pilot sacked for snorting cocaine off woman's chest and trying to fly full plane back to UK

Here is a rundown of the rather foolish texts sent by a former British Airways pilot who lost his job after bragging about 'snorting coke off a girl’s t**s in Joburg.'

It's a well known fact that oversharing lewd details about your personal life with work colleagues is never a good idea; but unfortunately for ex-BA pilot Mike Beaton he'd forgotten this golden rule when bragging about a drug-fuelled night out in South Africa.

Back in 2023, Beaton had been in the city of Johannesburg ahead of a 12-hour flight back to London.

You'd imagine that most pilots would make sure to get a good eight hours of sleep before taking the controls of a passenger flight. But not Beaton, who instead decided act like he was on a school trip and spend the night living it up.

After a night out on the lash, the married pilot texted his antics to a stewardess, with The Sun revealing the father-of-one's messages in full detail.

Beaton began the string of texts by explaining how he'd met up with a group of local men as well as two female travellers, who were Welsh and Spanish nationals.

"We all walk (stagger) back up to the hotel bar for 'one last one before bed," one of his messages read.

"Welsh and one of these guys is getting on very well, but she’s told him that I’m her boyfriend."

The message continued: "Couple of drinks in the bar, bit of snogging, and then we’re somehow all on our way to this dude’s flat."

It was at this point where the night took a drastic turn, with Beaton sparing no detail about how 'Welsh' decided he should 'actually be her boyfriend', while the other woman hooked up with 'one of the two local lads.'

He revealed the two women were dancing 'topless' in the flat before drugs arrived. "One of the local lads produces a plate with a few lines of coke," he writes. "So then there’s a debate about whose chest is the best to do a bump off.

"That’s the story of how I ended up snorting coke off a girl’s t**s in Joburg."

The wild night of debauchery didn't end there either, as Beaton then disclosed that he'd spent a good portion of the night with the unnamed woman, adding: "Stayed the night with Welsh, shagged her for ages (I guess the coke played a part) and then was so f**ked I couldn’t even lift my head until gone 2."

So you can understand why the air stewardess had concerns about Beaton co-piloting a plane full of passengers.

BA were similarly unimpressed with his behaviour and he was promptly sacked after returning home.

And what did Beaton have to say for himself? Well, the married pilot acknowledged his behaviour by saying that he'd been a 'very naughty boy'. Which is certainly an understatement.

Since being fired from BA, it's been reported that Beaton has been able to resume his flying career and now works as a pilot for European Cargo.

Let's hope that he's learnt his lesson.
