A TEENAGE stewardess is having a married captain's baby after they took British Airways' Hug A Pilot scheme a bit too far.
Bosses at the airline — motto To Fly, To Serve — had ordered cabin crew to socialise with cockpit colleagues to boost morale. It is understood the hostess slept with the £100,000-a-year-plus captain during a boozy stop-over between flights.
A BA insider said last night: "The Hug A Pilot edict was not supposed to lead to this.
"It is an example of a night out which got out of hand."
The randy pilot is believed to have initially denied having sex, but later confessed to pals to a "moment of madness". His wife, who also works for BA, is said to be devastated but is thought to have decided to stand by her husband.
The stewardess has been grounded due to her condition.
She has also been moved from BA's base at Heathrow's Terminal 5 to a regional engineering centre to keep her out of the wife's way.
The insider added: "The girl's pregnancy and move to engineering is the talk of the airline. She was stunned to find she was expecting, but wants to keep the baby. She will be looked after financially because of the captain's pay."
The Sun revealed two months ago how BA had told its 13,500 cabin crew to link up with its 3,000 pilots on foreign trips.
Dubbed Hug A Pilot by staff, it was meant to restore relations after recent divisive industrial disputes. It was also designed to blend in younger cabin crew, who had been brought in on lower money and less perks than established older workers.
The source said: "The new crews are young and want to have fun. They joined BA to travel the world and enjoy the perks of the job on nights out between flights.
"Landing at exotic far-flung destinations, all the crews go out and get smashed." BA would not comment.
