IT’S NOT WEESY-JET

British Airways baggage handlers warned by bosses to stop urinating in plane holds — over fears they will ‘burn’ through fuselage.

BAGGAGE handlers working for British Airways have been warned to stop weeing in plane holds — over fears they will “burn” through the fuselage.

Staff have been ticked off for relieving themselves inside the massive holds of Boeing 747s because they cannot be bothered to trek back to the airport building.

Urine is highly corrosive and engineers are said to have discovered several areas of flaking metalwork on the inside of planes — although there is no suggestion any aircraft were in danger.

A BA source said: “Basically the guys were taking a leak in the hold when they were caught short.

“You can understand it.

“They are tucked away in the holds of these massive planes and they need to go.

“It can be a real trek back to the toilet facilities at the staff centre and when you have to go you have to go.

“Eventually it emerged urine is quite corrosive and there was some issues with some of the Boeing 747s.

“No plane was in any danger but staff were told to stop and use the proper facilities.”

A British Airways spokesman said: “We have no record of this.”
