Why go straight to the CAA? Why make a conspiracy theory like claim that records have been removed? Why go to the DM of all “newspapers”?
Sounds like it’s a character assassination of a pilot who stood up to a BA mainline purser for once in their life. Sad state of affairs. I hope the pilot involved sues the DM and the individual involved for libel/slander as appropriate.
There is no evidence they went straight to the Daily Mail.In fact the story,which was later used on other news sites,originally appeared in the Sun.
It probably came from an agency as the majority of callers to newsrooms are time wasters.I doubt it was cabin crew crew and would put my money on someone much closer to home given his circumstances.National newspapers do not have the staff or time to go hunting stories and prefer agency copy that is already written and subbed ready to publish.
No names have been mentioned anywhere so there is nothing to sue over.
