Naked and high flight attendant 'let himself down', says judge
Published: 9/19/2025

British Airways flight attendant Haden Pentecost, found naked and high on drugs during a transatlantic flight, was given a suspended prison sentence for performing an aviation function while impaired by drugs. Pentecost's behavior caused a "huge distraction" for the crew, and he was later dismissed from his job at British Airways. Despite the seriousness of the offense, his sentence was reduced due to mitigating factors, including his previous good character and immediate guilty plea.
