Your Thoughts Re: Fed-Up Flight Attendant, Steven Slater Makes Sliding Exit
On Monday, on the tarmac at Kennedy International Airport, a JetBlue attendant named Steven Slater decided he had had enough, the authorities said.
After a dispute with a passenger who stood to fetch luggage too soon on a full flight just in from Pittsburgh, Mr. Slater, 38 and a career flight attendant, got on the public-address intercom and let loose a string of invective.
Then, the authorities said, he 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 from his airline career.
On his way out the door, he paused to grab a beer from the beverage cart.

He really blew up! No one was hurt.....he probably just decided that enough was enough! So he went out with a bang! He might feel better now it's over....but he has a few consequences to face he didn't have before, I wonder if he has any regrets?
