Flight Attendant: Slides down emergency escape chute to (semi) freedom.

[rpanic]

Next we will hear that he has a lawsuit against Jet Blue for hostile environment causing his nervous breakdown.

LOLLOL

This guy is amazing.

1) Tells off unruly passenger over intercom
2) Grabs beer from beverage cart
3) Activates emergency shoot and peaces out
4) Returns home where he gets busted by police while having sex

A true american hero. I wonder if he flipped the plane the double bird as he slid down the emergency ramp?

True American Hero status not found. You can't be gay and be an American Hero. Maybe American Queero.

Has anyone interviewed the passenger that was the subject of his tirade? 🙂

 

[disappoint]

The passenger should have been stripped, beaten, and thrown out on the runway.

That's just gay.

Lol please remove our state from your profile. You're doing wonders for the stereotype. 😛

Arrested him? For quitting, essentially? That's a little much.

You serious? How about liability should one of the other passengers/children jumped out that same door down the 'slide'....that alone is a bit beyond just quitting. Then you have taking a beer, liability of his happy ass running across the tarmac, etc.

If he were to have hurt himself or another passenger did, the airlines, airport and possibly city could have been sued.

Now that said if lawsuits didn't exist I'd find this more funny.

According to the latest updates, This guy seemed to have made up the story about the passenger. Other passengers on the plane do not recall an unruly passenger. if this is true, the flight attendant just made an ass of himself

Other passengers are hardly paying attention to anything but getting off the plane at that point.

The incident was a mere passenger hitting the steward with her bag from the overhead.

That was the catalyst.

JetBlue attendant slides down emergency chute after fight with passenger

Police arrested a JetBlue flight attendant today at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport after he got into a verbal altercation with a passenger and then fled the scene by sliding down the plane's emergency evacuation chute.

It all happened as the plane pulled into the gate at JFK after what had been a routine flight from Pittsburgh. But shortly after landing, a passenger stood up as the plane was taxiing to the gate and began removing his bags from the overhead bin. According to the Wall Street Journal's Sean Gardiner, the flight attendant, identified as Steven Slater, asked the passenger to return to his seat.

A "heated" exchange ensued, which culminated in Slater walking to the rear of the plane, where he grabbed the intercom. "To the passenger who called me a motherf***er, f*** you!" Slater yelled, passengers tell the New York Daily News. "I've been in the business 28 years. I've had it. That's it." He activated the emergency chute and slid away.


Slater then walked along the jetway into the terminal, where he took a shuttle to the employee parking lot. Observers watched as he ripped off his JetBlue tie and threw it to the ground. Slater got into his vehicle and drove to his home in Queens. According to the New York Times' Ray Rivera, he was arrested shortly afterward and faces charges of criminal mischief and trespassing.

A source tells WNBC that Slater was "having a bad day."

Wheee!!

way to flush a 28yr career down the tubes! (pun intended)
