Pilot Fired For Doing Cocaine Off Woman’s Chest Rehired

Pilot Mike Beaton is now flying for another airline after being let go from British Airways for his party behavior. In 2023, Beaton was found to have done cocaine off a woman’s bare chest hours before flying from Johannesburg to London. The pilot has been hired by another company, one that moves cargo instead of passengers. “I think it’s disgusting that he was allowed to fly planes again after what he did,” a person who knows Beaton said. The CAA refused to comment on Beaton’s case specifically, but said all pilots must pass the same standards. (The Street)
