TWO British Airways cabin crew have been suspended for mocking the weight of a 15st stewardess.
The pair’s alleged target was shown the hurtful comments — posted in a staff WhatsApp group to which she did not belong — by a concerned colleague.
British Airways has suspended two of its cabin crew over bullying claim
Stewardess contacted BA bosses, who then pulled two cabin crew from rota
The devastated stewardess, who is in her early 20s, was said to be scared to go to work after reading the jibes.
Her incensed colleague urged her to contact BA bosses — who then pulled the pair who allegedly mocked her from the rota.
They could be sacked if found guilty of misconduct.
Some flights went ahead with one fewer crew on board — with passengers having no idea why the service was stretched.
The behaviour of another five cabin crew in the same WhatsApp group is also under scrutiny, The Sun on Sunday understands.
A source told us yesterday: “The poor victim of the merciless fat jokes has been left utterly bereft.
“She had no idea her colleagues had such disdain for her. The cruel comments left her scared to leave the house. She felt victimised. This was repugnant bullying.”
Cabin crew must be a certain height and weight so they can reach the overhead lockers and fit in seats.
The source said the woman, who lives in Wiltshire, knew she had to lose weight and had joined a gym and hired a personal trainer to slim down.
British Airways said: “We have a zero-tolerance approach to bullying and always fully investigate any allegations brought to our attention.”
