What?! Former JetBlue Flight Attendant Steven Slater Has Been Pitched a Reality-TV Series (382 hits)

Former JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater has been pitched a reality-TV series in which people quit their jobs in extravagant fashion. Angry former airline employee (and slide enthusiast) Steven Slater may soon get his own reality TV show.

Slater has been approached by a U.S. producer to begin hosting a show in which “disgruntled workers quit their jobs in extravagant ways,” according to TMZ.

The offer is said to have come from Stone and Company Entertainment, the reality show heavyweights behind such reality hits as Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style and Top Design, the website reported, citing industry insiders.

Slater became an overnight Internet folk hero after he got on the intercom of a packed JetBlue plane and cursed out an unruly passenger before quitting and allegedly grabbing two beers, deploying the emergency slide and sliding off the plane.

But recent accounts from other passengers and the airline seem to contradict Slater’s beleaguered worker image. TMZ speculates that if it turns out Slater is less a victim than an angry guy who just lost his temper — or worse, even provoked the incident — the offer might be revoked as quickly as it was offered.
