A British Airways captain has reportedly been caught stealing food at the carrier’s headquarters, which is… quite something.
The A380 is British Airways’ biggest plane, and training captains train other pilots on the aircraft (which is why he spent a lot of time at headquarters, rather than at at the airport). We can assume he was among British Airways’ best paid pilots, raking in £170,000 per year, or more.
According to the story, the pilot was caught on CCTV, stealing food and drinks from the self-serve “pavement cafe” at British Airways’ Waterside headquarters. The cafe sells things like sausage rolls, sandwiches, chips, cookies, coffee, etc. The idea is that you’re supposed to then check yourself out and pay, but this captain was found to be skipping the payment process, and just treating the cafe as his pantry.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
