What a way to make an exit.

Sign in to disble this ad
After hurling expletives across the PA and grabbing two beers for the ride, this flight attendant activated the emergency inflatable slide and promptly hit the bricks.



Quote:
“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 ‘____-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.”

I bet he gets a book deal or something.

That's as good as the scene in Half Baked where Scarface quits his fast food gig. I can only imagine that amount of self-important jagoffs that flight attendants have to put up with. It would only be time before I'd punch someone in the face.

I wholeheartedly support this man. Working there for 28 years? Putting up with those kind of people for all that time???? Yeah, let that man have his beer. And slide down the chute. And go home. Kudos from me.

I read he could be looking at about 7 years in the clink.
