Former British Airways pilot returns to flying after reform

dailymail.co.uk

Mike Beaton, a former British Airways pilot, was fired in 2023 for using cocaine off a woman's chest before a flight. He had boasted about his actions to a colleague, leading to a cancellation of his flight and a positive drug test. Beaton has now returned to flying with European Cargo in Bournemouth after convincing the Civil Aviation Authority that he has reformed. He has completed four flights since his return. The Civil Aviation Authority stated that a pilot's medical certification is suspended if drug use is found, and reinstatement occurs only if they are fully satisfied with the pilot's reformation.
