Flight Attendant Curses, Grabs Beer, Pulls Exit Chute, Flees

Flight attendant snaps, makes dramatic exit - thestar.com

After a dispute with a passenger who stood to fetch his luggage too soon on a full flight just in from Pittsburgh, Slater, a career flight attendant, had had enough.

He got on the intercom, let loose a string of invective, 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 his airline career.

Was the plane in the air ?

[EmergencyIan]

No, the plane had landed and was taxiing in. The woman opened the overhead and the bag hit the flight attendant in the head. He asked the woman to apologize and she responded by calling him a M#&%$@ F*^$&#. So, the flight attendant got on the intercom/PA and went off on her. He then preceded to grab a beer, open the emergency exit and delpoy the slide (after the plane had arrived at the terminal). He then slid down it, took the tram to the parking lot, got in his car and drove home.

Priceless stuff!

Thank goodness for him that it was not. That would have been a long way down. Watch that first step as it is a d oozy.

That guy is my new Hero!!

[livnxxxl]

I just seen on the news that now they are saying IF this guy is convicted he is facing 7 years in prison. What?!?! Unbelievable! Hell, He might as well done all of the above and robbed a bank along the way.

Also the news report stated that his Myspace page has soared in visits and compliments. That is one way to get attention I suppose.

He's got balls!
I can just picture him coming off the slide,taking a sip on a beer!
Good for him!
Maybe he's got no job,but he still has his self-respect!=priceless IMO.

[LadyZod]

Good for him.

He's suddenly become the spokesperson for every disgruntled flight attendant in the world. I can see him becoming a a guest speaker at union functions.

I'll all for a passenger's bill of rights, but come on. There has to be some give with the take.

Sure flight attendants are there to "serve", but their job also involves keeping you safe while you're strapped onto a giant combustible metal tube that, oh ya, is hurling across the freakin' sky!

Passengers need to listen, and follow the rules.

Maybe with the publicity this stunt is generating maybe this will bring those stupid folks that fly into the public eye.

CLASSIC! The new catch-phrase when contemplating hostilities at the workplace (replacing "Going Postal").... "I'm grabbing my beers and going down the slide"

Air Rage...

He'll get a Union funded lawyer, and will plead stress induced temporary insanity.



I wouldn't want to do that job for all the snacks on JetBlue...

Sounds like a plan.
Dealing with the public IS/CAN be stressfull!

[starsky]

i applaud him. there's no excuse for disrespecting/rude behavior to another person.

[livnxxxl]

Yeah, He has already lawyered up and they are pleading stress because he has been taking care of his Mother who is terminally ill. He may have a case. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
