I guess the line "it's not a muffin, it's a fig newton" didn't work.

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.

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

The man's collegues are furious with the decision, branding the airline 'heavy handed' and accused them of acting like a 'police state'.

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 attendent was told she could not wear a crucifix to work as it apparently contravened the company's uniform policy.

The worker added: "Staff are scared of putting a foot wrong. BA is acting like a police state."

A spokesman for the company said yesterday: "One member of the cabin crew has been suspended on suspicion of theft.

"While such incidents are extremely rare we take all allegations of theft extremely seriously."

However, British Airways appeared to make a U-turn today denying that the steward was suspended because he eat a left over muffin.

A BA spokesman said: "It is half-baked to suggest we are suspending someone over a muffin. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."

"Refuse" above or below the rim is a very applicable theory here.

Upon hearing this, the BA employee deadpanned, "I guess it's easy to sugarcoat the situation now."
