I never thought it would happen but somebody actually topped Arnetta the Moodsetta‘s on air verbal ‘middle finger’ to her bad bosses.
When an airline passenger clocked a flight attendant in the head with a piece of (no doubt overweight) carry-on luggage, he probably wasn’t expecting to get cussed out by the flight attendant. I am positive he wasn’t expecting the flight attendant to then haul ass by activating the plane’s inflatable emergency slide, (after grabbing two beers from the galley mind you) and slide down the chute clutching the frosty brews. But that’s exactly what happened.
Apparently, 38 year old JetBlue Flight attendant Steven Slater was fed up with the unapologetic passenger, passengers in general and his job when he pulled the chutes and ladders stunt as his plane landed at New York’s JFK Airport.
Slater’s mother is reportedly suffering from lung cancer and he’d recently lost his father, so when the luggage wielding passenger refused to apologize, Slater lost it. His antics didn’t end on the tarmac however. No, he managed to make it to his car, driving all the way to his home in Belle Harbor Queens where authorities later picked him up. Slater was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.
Don’t you wish you had the stones to quit your job like that?! Well, without violating federal law and all… Q100 Atlanta DJ Bert, posed an interesting question this morning on The Bert Show – was this breakdown a moment of insanity or a moment of clarity? You decide.
