Hot Air Awesome: Fed up JetBlue flight attendant curses out passengers, quits &#8212; then pops emergency chute and flees

JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh had taxied to a stop at Terminal 5, Gate C around noon Monday when flight attendant Steven Slater, 38, was struck in the head with luggage that a passenger was trying to unload from an overhead compartment, according to an airport official with knowledge of the incident.

Slater demanded an apology from the passenger, the official said, but the passenger refused. The two argued before the passenger told Slater to “f— off”, the official said. The official said that Slater then got on the plane’s PA system and directed that same obscenity at all the passengers and added that he especially meant it for the man who refused to apologize.

Slater is alleged to have then activated the plane’s inflatable emergency slide, grabbed two beers from the galley, then slid down the chute, the official said.
The attendant then ran from the tarmac into the terminal, the official said. He made his way to his car and drove to his residence in Belle Harbor, Queens, the official said.

:lol::lol::clap2::clap2:

Hot Air commentary follows on theory that Will Ferrell will make a movie via the event...

In the movie, Slater/Ferrell will slide off the chute — and directly into Katherine Heigl, in classic meet-cute fashion. He’ll become an instant celebrity, famous across America for his Howard Beale-esque display of mad dignity in the face of recession-fueled chaos. But as time wears on, the fame will go to his head, ruining the everyman who struck a blow for the little guy by popping a beer — and the escape chute! — that fateful day on the tarmac. Can the Love Of A Good Woman save his soul and restore him to the lovably humble lunatic we knew at the beginning of the film? Why … yes, assuredly it can. Exit quotation: “Sources said the steward was ‘having a bad day.’”

:lol::lol:

I should have put the Mediaite link in too...

Flight Attendant Emergency | Steven Slater | Flight Attendant Fuck Off | Mediaite
It doesn’t matter if you work in the mail room for a soulless corporation or in the quality assurance department for a Fireworks, Ice Cream, and Porn Star Factory, everyone imagines quitting their job from time to time. However, in all of our wildest dreams of escaping the daily grind, I’m sure most people have never imagined doing so in as fantastic a way as Steven Slater, a JetBlue flight attendant who used his plane’s emergency chute to get away from annoying passengers earlier today in New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Sure, he may be facing some legal problems for his actions, but he’s sure to be the hero of clock punchers everywhere for years to come.
 
That is truely an epic way to quit your job. It would seem churlish to saddle this guy with legal problems. If that happens, I hope some over-worked, under-paid young lawyer takes his case pro bono, wins it, and garners enough publicity for herself to become a tv judge.

I can see the possibility for goodies just radiating from this incident. The guy is my hero today.

If you are someone's boss and don't have the humanity to treat them with dignity...a pox on you.

At first I thought...what the fuck kind of person would refuse to apologize for bumping someone on the head???

Then I read this part...

...He made his way to his car and drove to his residence in Belle Harbor, Queens.

New Yorkers! Now it all makes sense.
 
Hot Air Video: America&#8217;s greatest folk hero speaks

As with any prophet, his words are few — and yet somehow they speak volumes. He’s capable of performing miracles too. Who else could earn favorable mentions from both Robert Gibbs and Mark Levin?

This asshole makes me want to

He should be treated like any other passenger would be and have his sissy histrionic ass thrown in the fucking slammer.

Nah.

I don't want to see the guy in jail, even though his actions were wrong for sure. I spent way to many years in the service industry not to admire the sheer gall and pluck of his exit from the profession. A slap on the wrist and maybe some serious probation would be fine by me.

That said, I do hope the guys "15 minutes O'fame" go by as quick as possible. Also, in keeping with my right wing libertarian bona fides, I do have a new song for the guy. (language warning)

Smooth move dude, but ya better move on now that your unemployed... :lol::lol:
