Pilot who was sacked for snorting cocaine off woman's chest and trying to fly full plane back to UK is back in cockpit

A pilot who was rather infamously sacked by British Airways after snorting cocaine off a woman's chest before attempting to fly a passenger plane has found another cockpit to fly in.

You may remember the tale of Mike Beaton, a BA pilot who had been due to fly from Johannesburg, South Africa to London, but was stopped after a flight attendant expressed concerns over his condition.

Beaton admitted he'd been a 'very naughty boy' and was suspended, flying back to the UK as a passenger the following day.

He was made to take a drugs test upon his arrival at Heathrow Airport, and the results came back positive, which led to him being sacked.

Text messages pointed towards a wild night out he'd had in his downtime before the flight back to the UK, in which the pilot described an explicit encounter where he snorted cocaine off a woman's chest.

"We all walk (stagger) back up to the hotel bar for ‘one last one before bed,’" Beaton had written in the text messages to a friend.

“Welsh and one of these guys is getting on very well, but she’s told him that I’m her boyfriend. Couple of drinks in the bar, bit of snogging, and then we’re somehow all on our way to this dude’s flat.

"Welsh has decided that I should actually be her boyfriend - Spanish has hooked up with one of the two local lads and is having her t**s sucked on their sofa."

In further messages he described how he'd ended up losing his shirt when 'one of the local lads produces a plate with a few lines of coke,' which then led to 'a debate about whose chest is the best to do a bump off.'

Beaton wrote how he ended up 'snorting coke off a girl's t*ts' and: "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."

Now, the pilot is back in the skies, as LBC reported that he was now flying planes for a company called European Cargo.

Back when he was sacked, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said that pilots could eventually return to the cockpit, as 'if they wished to return to flying then a comprehensive rehabilitation programme would be put in place.'

However, they added that the pilot's medical would 'only be reinstated if we were completely satisfied' with the results of the rehabilitation programme.
