It wasn’t a Captain in the champagne in the bath incident. It was a Moldovan girl filmed by a male Brazilian GR1 (who incidentally was married to another crew member). He shared the video with friends who posted it on social media.

Whilst it was a horrible thing to do to the girl who wasn’t aware it would be posted, she must accept that when you take a bottle of champers from Biz Class and let someone film you in the bath inserting said bottle in the holiest of holes whilst saying “thank you emirates for this champagne” and naming your employers - it’s sort of hard to argue innocence.

:D"The holiest of holes"...now thats funny,

And all of those that shared it!

Yeah but that isn't nearly so catchy :}

What happened in Cochin?

I think it was the incident where 2 fools almost stalled a jet because they had set the HDG Bug 180 degrees the wrong way for take off......:ugh::ugh::ugh:

HDG bug 180 degrees the wrong way caused the airplane to almost stall? What happened? They try an Immelmann?

Thank God there was no such thing as selfies or social media back in the 70's/80's or there wouldn't be anyone left flying for BOAC/BEA.

Do you play spin the bottle of blind man's muff on layovers these days?

actually she said the F-Word about her valued Employer.

But still a classic video, let’s wait and see what the new seasons will bring.

yahhhh....used to be fun didnt it?

Yep, all good fun back in the day.

I can see how a certain amount of common sense has had to be applied to some of the more 'exotic' practices but I do feel the pendulum has swung back way too far in the other direction.

We live our professional lives now treading on eggshells, being super mindful of everything we say and do lest some uber sensitive poor soul might, god forbid, be offended and leap on the opportunity to report us. In the process, it has taken away most of the reasons I joined this industry and I really can't wait for the day when I can put the sad state this industry has descended into, behind me.

The frustrating thing is that 99.9% of the people I fly with are all great and would, I am sure, have fitted right in, 'back in the day.' But, we are, as is usual nowadays, running scared of the politically correct minority. And I don't think the world is a better place today than it was 40 years ago, despite all this political correctness.

Maybe one day, genuine common sense, airmanship, manners, courtesy, respect and fun etc will come back in fashion.

Or maybe I have just turned into a grumpy old man!

You should come and my new work place...I don't think they have heard of "PC"....even I was shocked when I started..but do we have some interesting conversations!!

Is anybody going to answer this or is secrecy more important than safety?

I know all about it because I'm a stakeholder but since it's none of your business I'm going to go with secrecy.

Err.. isn't 'Spin the bottle' a game we used to play when we were, like, eleven?

Sounds like the latest version is more fun.

It was and what went on in room parties stayed in room parties, that's the difference between then and now.

Ummm..this game had a bottle....not too sure how much "spinning" was involved.:E

So what happened��

good one SOPS, I almost fell off my chair
