Do You Know The Muffin Man?

British Airways have suspended a cabin crew steward for eating a muffin that was discarded on a passenger's meal tray, it was reported today.

British Airways are treating the incident as theft after he was reported at Heathrow airport on Monday.

One BA worker told The Sun: "The cabin crew member on a long-haul flight took a muffin destined for the bin. "Now his career hangs in the balance. Everyone is up in arms - it is a disgusting way to treat a member of staff."

The move to suspend the worker comes after another BA flight attendant was told she could not wear a crucifix to work as it apparently contravened the company's uniform policy.

The worker added: "The staff is scared. British Airways is acting like a police state."
