Stewardess sacked for being eight times over drink flying limit
An air stewardess who was drunk on a UK-bound flight from Dubai has been sacked after she was found to be eight times over the drink flying limit.
Stephanie Partington, 24, was arrested when her Emirates plane touched down in Birmingham after fellow cabin crew members raised the alarm over her behaviour.
Tests later revealed her blood alcohol level was eight times the legal limit for flight attendants.
Partington was charged under the Civil Aviation Act and pleaded guilty when she appeared before Solihull magistrates on Monday, reports the Daily Mail.
Lois Cullen, defending Partington, said she had only recently joined Emirates and was on a rest day in Dubai when she was asked to work on the flight at short notice.
Magistrates fined Partington £110 with £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
