drunk Cabincrew
 
The dolly who was off her trolley: Noisy, drunken flight stewardess was eight times the alcohol limit

  • Stephanie Partington, 24, was eight times over the legal alcohol limit for flight attendants under the aviation act
  • She pleaded guilty to being under the influence of drink to such an extent as her capacity to act was impaired
  • Partington, who was also twice over the drink-drive limit, has since been fired by Emirates
As an air stewardess, Stephanie Partington's duties included calming down noisy and over-refreshed passengers.
But on one particular flight back to Britain it was her own drunken behaviour which caused the problem.
The 24-year-old was so loud as she served passengers at the back of the 300-seat Boeing 777 that the purser had to ask her to 'quieten down'.
Suspicions were raised further when routine paperwork she filled out at the end of the seven-hour flight from Dubai to Birmingham was illegible.
The captain of the Emirates flight radioed ahead for police who met the plane when it landed.
Partington, from Liverpool, who insisted she had not been drinking during the flight, was arrested when she failed a breath test.
Further procedures revealed she had 164mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood – twice the drink-drive limit of 80mg and eight times the legal limit of 20mg for flight attendants under aviation law.
Charged under the Civil Aviation Act, Partington admitted allowing her capacity to act to be impaired through drink and was fined £110, with £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
Prosecutor Fiona Davis told Solihull magistrates: 'She was working at the back of the plane and during the flight the purser became aware she was very loud and had to ask to quieten her down>:ugh:

Let that be a warning to the rest. This is not a summer job at the ice cream stand. Lucky for her the flight was TO UK and not FROM UK..

Maybe they should stop recruiting as though it was. ...B O R T ....as we say in the North !

She is not the first individual in aviation who has partied too much , probably so much that her judgement about her actual condition was way off the mark . There are many crew who now wish they had gone sick .
Thin air in the cabin will not help , unless of course she had a hair of the dog .

Lucky it did not happen in Dubai ! But she was so far over the limit after the flight.

You can say that again. Losing her job and the petty fine is a blessing compared to UAE jail time.
