A British Airways captain has been suspended after allegedly groping a female passenger who was flying first class.

The unnamed pilot, who was off duty at the time, was travelling on a London-to-Japan flight to pick up another flight in Tokyo when he approached the woman and allegedly molested her while she was sitting next to her husband, The Sun newspaper reports.

The flight deck?

Leave it to our British friends to exhibit proper etiquette under any circumstances.

I didn’t know Bill Clinton was now flying for British Airways.

Anybody remember the classic TV show, "The Man Show," where Adam Corolla and Jimmy Kimmel dressed up as airline pilots, then went to an airport bar and made like they were REALLY drunk? Seeing the reactions of the bar customers and people in the airport was hilarious!

Guess he wasn’t quite drunk enough to call it the cock pit.

Sounds like the airline made the right move.

Surprised the husband didn’t knock him down.

Proper etiquette?

I don’t know... If you’re going to drunkenly grope a passenger, at least have the decency not to do so whilst her husband is seated next to her.

Bad form, mate.

(there’s a blogathon out there with tributes to classic variety shows such as this, which is where I happened upon the above)

The same pilot reportedly had only recently returned to work after punching a steward in the face last year.

I think the pilot may finally be fired? He will get what he deserves!

Any idea how we could locate that show, or it’s footage? It sounds really funny, thanks.

Grrrrrr.... I figured it would be on You Tube, and while it is, you have to BUY the entire episode for $2.

Ugh.

British Airways? Sounds more like Jolly Fats Wehauken to London.

Just part of the heightened level of service one can expect in first class.

No extra charge.

[SeminoleCounty]

I guess the pilot wanted to check out her landing strip.

Wonder what the gropee look like?.

At least Foster Brooks kept his hands to himself!

It’s bad enough to be groped by the TSA prior to boarding, but to be groped by the Captain after boarding?

What is this world coming to, I ask ya?

[Atlas Sneezed]

I guess this goes along with the rapacious ~$2000 “surcharge” that BA charges those who redeem frequent-flyer miles for a “free” first class round trip overseas flight.

Did they give proper credit to “Airplane”?
