Id love to deck them. Our flying programme is knackered and the poor crew are stuck everywhere (for once I feel for them) 

The crew are the least concerning bit I’d have thought. Inconvenient for them sure, but accommodated in reasonsbly good hotels at airline expense.  It’s the mug who can barely afford his ticket with no travel insurance that’s screwed

These idiots (whoever they are) need lengthy prison sentences when they are caught. This situation is totally unacceptable, and could end up costing millions....

Christopher, I think you should give them a jolly good talking to.

Trust me it's a mission when alot of your flight attendents are female 21 to 35 and a load are on Alprazolam.  There's more to flight ops and rostering than you think

What will be interesting is it they catch the drone pilot and he's a 74 year old pensioner called derek

Xanax, Prozac.  Stuff like that . Diabetes tablets, asthma inhalers, disposable contact lenses.

Well there is nothing you can do about their anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication anyway and I doubt any flightcrew will be on either of those medications with a valid medical clearance to fly

Both of those medications are psychiatric medications. 

Anyway, back to Derek - the Drone Devil of Doom

Correct. There's 100s of crew stuck away from base.  You can be cabin crew if your on psychiatric medications. So long as you take them and it doesn't impare you. Pilots it's different due the medical but there's plenty of crew on medication. Aswell as being diabetic etc etc. 

Ba have a ton of crew 'going through the change' that are flying. With their hormones all over the place.  We have a few too. Not as many as BA. But It's not uncommon mate with cabin crew
