A Virgin Atlantic pilot who was sacked over 'unfounded rumours' he took '40 winks' during a long haul flight when his co-pilots were sick, has won £90,000 compensation.
Captain Mike Lawson said the rumours circulated and saw the company turn against him and he was unfairly dismissed.
The 50 year old had claimed £1.7 million in compensation from the airline which he claimed took action against him following a flight from London to Hong Kong in 2015.
