Steven Slater (Jet Blue Flight Attendant)

[maestro15]

I was on a plane last night (WN 3330 KISP-KPBI B73N) I interviewed all three Flight Attendants regarding this guy. They all found him as a hero.

Jeff Slater is a veteran Flight attendant for jet Blue, He has been working there for 25 years. just recently a passenger got him mad due to a piece of luggage falling on his head when the passenger wasn't supposed to. He got mad came on the plane intercom and started cursing about his job, he then grabs two beers opens the Left hand Galley door opens the emergency slide and runs. (what a way to quit your job). He gets arrested at his home in queens.

He could face conviction for up to 7 years (highly unlikely). it is illegal to open the emergency slide.

So what do you think of him? I agree, he is my hero. Is he your hero too?

NOW POST!!

One, get your facts right. He's 38, he's hardly been an FA since he was 13. He's being doing it 20 years, according to him, he used to work for TWA. And B6 is only 12 years old, founded in 1998...

And damn right he's a hero. Passengers can be very hard to deal with, and pax like that should be the ones arrested...but he did go a little too far, in doing what he did. He could have easily called the gate and had security waiting. But the implication is honourable. Passengers today take the crew for granted, especially on LCCs like JetBlue. But the passenger was extremely in the wrong, it is a felony on it's own (I'm led to believe) to curse at a flight attendant in active service. But he did take it too far, I think. What he did though, standing up to her, was admirable and I would gladly do it (Stand up, not jump out of the plane) any day.

As far as his charges go, I agree with the trespassing charge but not the reckless endangerment one. It is illegal to step onto the apron, ESPECIALLY an active taxiway without explicit clearance. But I doubt any lives were in danger - barring his own - from doing that. The one thing that's troubling me is how he made it from the plane, on the taxiway to his car, without being apprehended. I was in JFK but two weeks ago and the place was crawling with security on the apron.

Either way, I think I can safely say that beer was surely his best!

Thank YOU Airbus! How come you have 111, 934 miles?? I only have 110,605 Miles. You are so lucky!!!

when passengers get all pissed off for no reason and take it out on an employee, the worker should have the right to get angry. Have you read people's conversations with IT workers? Some consumers are just idiots.

This guy is certifiably awesome.

I lol'd when I learned about him. (http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/343699/august-10-2010/alpha-dog-of-the-week---steven-slater) He was obviously fed up with people like that, and he did what he wanted to do about it. Respect for him right thar.
