Take this job and SHOVE IT....

This guy should be the Patron Saint of quitters... In addition to being one of MY personal heros...

Honestly, I'm surprised MORE flight attendants don't flip the fuck out with everything they have to deal with these days...

Bail set as cursing, beer-grabbing flight attendant grabs spotlight - CNN.com


and YES he's been arrested, but do you see that grin on his face... Even as he's being led out in cuffs...

THAT is the look of satisfaction you just can't get with the standard two weeks notice deal...

totally understand his frustrations, but seriously, activating the emergency slide?? not cool. i'm with him on being fed up and telling the guy to fuck off over the intercom, but he should have just quit and left the plane. i bet his smile changes when he gets the bill for the activation of the emergency slide.

he looked like he just came-big ole silly grin on his face

what a shock, eh??

America’s new folk hero might actually be total jackass

Old theory: Steven Slater’s a Beale-esque everyman striking a blow for dignity in a stressed-out, recession-plagued world. New theory: Steven Slater’s a D-bag who needs to lay off the sauce.

Then there’s passenger Kati Doebler. She said that Slater’s story about getting the cut on his head when a passenger dropped a piece of luggage on him from the overhead compartment at the end of the flight — the incident that triggered the cursing on the PA system, and the escape on the chute — may not be true.

In fact, Slater’s legal aide attorney, Howard Turman, told the media on Thursday Slater actually suffered the injury in Pittsburgh, before Flight 1052 even took off.

Before any of that happened, Doebler said, passengers saw the bleeding cut as soon as they boarded, and she said Slater never bandaged it. And, she said, there was that drink he always seemed to be carrying.

“One of the times he passed by me he was carrying what could either have been a drink for himself, and that was a little bit of the impression I got, as he was kind of waving it about like it was his own cocktail,” Doebler said.

Investigators are looking into claims by several passengers that Slater seemed to be irritable and unsteady, as if drinking, even throwing the mask and life jacket to the ground, some said, during the demonstration.

As if all this isn’t bad enough, Jet Blue sent around a memo to employees earlier today reminding them that deploying the chute is no laughing matter since it springs open “with enough force to kill a person.” If Slater was soused and/or woozy from that knock on the head, he’s lucky there was no one on the tarmac in the wrong place at the wrong time.
