Anecdotally, there have been at least a dozen alleged instances of this kind of behaviour at BA in the last 5 years or so.
As a current flight-deck member I cannot begin to comprehend the kind of stupidity that this kind of behaviour entails. From my own conversations with cabin crew, and from those who get a bit "chatty" after a few drinks down route I have come to the conclusion that it is a small minority of bitter individuals, most of whom bear little resemblance to the vast majority of utterly professional cabin crew.
In my opinion those members of cabin crew that condone and do nothing about this activity, are every bit as foolish and reckless, as those who actually perpetrate what is in point of fact a criminal act
