British Airways was forced to cancel a London-bound flight from Barbados after several crew members allegedly drank so much during their layover at an all-inclusive resort that they were deemed unfit to work. If the reports are accurate, this is totally unacceptable, and BA may need to consider whether a Japan Airlines-style layover alcohol ban is now necessary.
As One Mile at a Time notes, BA254 was canceled after crew members were reportedly unable to work the return sector. British Airways ultimately had to fly the aircraft back to London empty. Four crew members were suspended after the incident. Apparently, the crew was drinking vodka and beer at a £500-per-night all-inclusive resort, with one crew member allegedly vomiting at the bar and another collapsing.
British Airways told the outlet:
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
