Right, having had a look at the article, it strikes me as a mixture of probable fact, and re-hashed urban myth...
Five incidents mentioned.... here's my take in the order they appear in the article, and why.
1/ Skymarshall masturbating in front of a crew member... no names, dates, places or airlines mentioned, and I've heard this one before at both CX and BA.
Re-hashed urban myth.
2/Skymarshal indulging in unspecified lewd conduct, only stopped by a brawl with other crew. Again no names, dates, places, and similarities to tales already out there.
Re-hashed urban myth.
3/Sky marshall too drunk to stand up.... This chap is named, and a specific flight mentioned.
Most likely some truth there.
4/Tantrum at security.... Named individual, named flight, and didn't something similar happen in the US....
Probable truth.
5/ Taking a business class seat... no names, places, dates airlines. Again, a nagging feeling of deja vu on this one, so my untutored verdict is ...
Probably a re-hashed Urban Myth...
Just my take.... my £6's worth, that is. (Bad pun alert! Ouch!)
