This BA pilot should sign a book deal and make some big bucks.

Don't bring cameras to room parties.
Oh and god bless Capt. Burkill for having had some good layovers. I don't see anything wrong with consenting adults letting their hair down from time to time. I wonder who the little strumpet was who released those photo's. I hope she was well paid.
There have been a couple of times when I was happy there was no photo proof. I hope all of you have had some of "those" layovers!

What...No one else picked up on the fact that a BA CA makes $240,000 per year? Gawd................................

I think this makes the man a hero in my book.
