Flight attendant suspended over muffin
LONDON – A British flight attendant was suspended for help-
ing himself to an uneaten muffin while busing a passenger’s
tray. British Airways said the move was made because the
employee was suspected of theft and the incident was being
taken “extremely seriously.” The Sun reported Wednesday the
suspension had many British Airways employees up in arms as
well. Some called it an overreaction to an incident involv-
ing a muffin that was headed for the trash bin. Others said
the airline had become increasingly “heavy-handed” in its
treatment of its employees.
