Your Thoughts Re: Fed-Up Flight Attendant, Steven Slater Makes Sliding Exit (443 hits)
On Monday, on the tarmac at Kennedy International Airport, a JetBlue attendant named Steven Slater decided he had had enough, the authorities said.
After a dispute with a passenger who stood to fetch luggage too soon on a full flight just in from Pittsburgh, Mr. Slater, 38 and a career flight attendant, got on the public-address intercom and let loose a string of invective.
Then, the authorities said, he pulled the lever that activates the emergency-evacuation chute and slid down, making a dramatic exit not only from the plane but, one imagines, also from his airline career. On his way out the door, he paused to grab a beer from the beverage cart.
He really blew up! No one was hurt.....he probably just decided that enough was enough! So he went out with a bang! He might feel better now it's over....but he has a few consequences to face he didn't have before, I wonder if he has any regrets?
I'm glad that he went out with a bang! People on the airplanes are crazy people for real.

I wish I could afford to fly first class when I need to travel.

@ Sister Shequita You are so right with the stress of being a flight attendant and all the other fears and worries. Those same people wouldn't take the things that they do to these people. I guess he said after his rant that he needed a couple of "cold ones"!

This also is a welcome break fro hearing of how many had been shot / killed, by a work place angry employee...like the lady who only broke the window of the fast food place...
This person's behavior was so off the wall and in a way sounique until it was actually sort of funny if one was not there at the time. lol
ONLY IN AMERICA. (NUP)

@ cLARK YOU ARE JUST LIKE THE TV REPORTER who I first heard this story from...he was saying how he envy this guy because he has always wanted to just slide down one of those shoots just for fun...
last night on his program Jay Leno said he knows where a job is open and it is for a flight attendant at Jet Blue. lol (smile)
