How To Properly Quit Your Job !!

JetBlue attendant flies off handle after passenger ignores him


Puzzled passengers on a JetBlue flight that had just landed at Kennedy Airport Monday watched as a flight attendant crashed and burned - first cursing out a passenger on the plane's intercom, then grabbing beer from the galley, activating the emergency chute and sliding to the tarmac before driving home, officials and at least one witness said. Officials said Steven Slater, 39, was later arrested at his home in Belle Harbor, Queens, by Port Authority of New York & New Jersey police. He was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief, police said.

The incident occurred after JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh landed at Kennedy and taxied to a stop at Terminal 5, officials said. According to a law enforcement official, Slater became upset after a passenger got into the overhead luggage bins while the plane was taxiing to the gate - after being given repeated orders to sit down.


The official said the passenger hit Slater in the head with his luggage and, when the passenger refused to apologize, Slater used the plane's public address system to utter an oath and say he's "had it." Blogger Phil Catelinet said he was a passenger on the flight. In his blog, "Phil's Occasional Musings," Catelinet wrote Monday night: "As we were taxiing to the gate, we stopped and several passengers got up to get their bags. One of the flight attendants announced that we were not quite at the gate yet and asked everyone to sit down. I hadn't moved since I was in row 15. We pulled up to the gate and people started to get off the plane."
He said as he got up to get his bags, the flight attendant swore at the passenger over the intercom, saying the passenger had cursed at him first. He added, "I've been in this business 28 years and I've had it," according to Catelinet's blog. Catelinet wrote that the passengers were "surprised to have just heard that over an airplane intercom."


An official who requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said JetBlue waited more than 25 minutes before contacting the Port Authority about the incident. Catelinet said he later saw the flight attendant at the AirTrain terminal. "It looked like he had a cut on his forehead," Catelinet wrote. "I recognized his voice when he started talking to another passenger from our flight about how he'd just had enough and quit his job. Then he said something about using the emergency slide to get off the plane. I still wasn't sure what had happened. I thought a passenger had taken the fun way out."


In a statement, JetBlue said there were no injuries in the incident and that all customers deplaned safely through the jetway. The airline declined to comment on how long it took to inform police. The airline said it was investigating. "At no time was the security or safety of our customers or crew members at risk," the statement said. The FAA said it had been notified about the incident, but deferred comment to JetBlue and the Port Authority.


The Associated Press reported that a woman who answered the phone at a previous residence listed to Slater in Thousand Oaks, Calif., identified herself as his mother - but said she wasn't speaking to the media about the incident. Slater, who was held overnight pending arraignment, could not be reached. According to his LinkedIn profile, Slater has been with JetBlue since 2008. He is the chairman of the airline's Uniform Redesign Committee and a member of the Inflight Values Committee. According to Slater's MySpace profile - which includes a photo of him holding an old copy of Newsday - he has been a flight attendant since 1990.


Catelinet, who said on his blog that he is a New York City resident, wrote: "The flight was never in danger. We were on the ground, at the gate. None of the passengers on my flight were delayed or detained as far as I know. "I'm mostly concerned that a flight attendant would lose their cool that way over a bag in the overhead. But I'm sure he's served his last bag of in-flight cookies."

Facebook-page-hero-flight-attendant-praise/" target="_blank">Flight Attendants: Steven Slater Is Our Frickin' Hero!


56 minutes ago by TMZ Staff



Flight attendants from airlines everywhere are rallying around JetBlue's most famous employee Steven Slater -- praising him for fighting "flight attendant abuse" and even building him a shrine ... on Facebook.

Facebook-credit.jpg" border="0" alt="" />
TMZ has learned someone created an FB fan page for Slater less than a day ago -- which already has more than 15,000 followers ... and continues to grow by the minute.

But the most interesting part is the comment section, which has been taken over by flight attendants across the country who wish they had the cojones to do what Slater did.

One user wrote, "We (flight attendants) secretly have thought about doing this.....you are my hero for taking a stand on flight attendant abuse!!!!"

And another -- "Kudos to you, I am a former flight attendant and only wish I had the nerve to do what you did!!!!!!" And yet another -- "As a former F/A, you made my fantasy come true--you just did what we have all thought about doing a thousand times! Good Luck to you! "

As we previously reported, Slater -- who told off a passenger on a JetBlue flight yesterday and then abandoned ship on the emergency chute -- is charged with two counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of criminal mischief and one count of criminal trespass. His bail is set at $2,500.
