Flight Attendant Steven Slater’s Pictures Teach Us How To Quit A Crap Job
EXIT of The Day award goes to JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater, who gave a practical demo in air rage and escaping a heated plane by activating the slide on his JetBlue flight and sliding down it to the tarmac at JFK airport.
The feeling is that days or knowing the slide was so close, just waiting to be enjoyed, proved too much to stand.
The story goes that Slater argues with passenger. The New York Daily News tells us that Slater was hit on the head by bag.
Slater on the intercom: “To the passenger who called me a mother-fucker, fuck- you. I’ve been in the business 28 years. I’ve had it. That’s it.”
To the bouncy slide. At last! Before going he grabbed two beers from the kitchen. He opened one and grabbed hold of his flight bags.
What do we know about Slater? Well, he has a MySpace account, which makes reporting easy. He is 38. He lives in Flushing, Queens. He loves jetting off to”semi-fabulous JetBlue Airways destinations”. He has a sense of humour.
Cops found him in bed with his boyfriend when they arrived to arrest him at a beachfront home in the Rockaways with a porch overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, sources said.
He boasted to skeptical cops that he really did escape by chute with his carry-on luggage.
“Oh, yes, I did! I threw them down first and I went down after,” he told cops, sources said.
He was grinning as police walked him in handcuffs to a squad car. “He left with a big smile on his face,” said neighbor Curt Karkowski.
And how did you quit your job?
