Male Flight Attendant Flees Plane
 

Take a look at this guy ladies and gentlemen.

Simon Bray works for Jet Blue?

I think he had to flee the airplane because he was flaming. Wait I mean he thought he was on fire. Yeah........that's what I meant.

In addition to serving as chairman of JetBlue’s uniform redesign committee, the LinkedIn entry says, Mr. Slater serves on the airline’s in-flight values committee.

Ya think?:rolleyes:

He's just Suuuuuuper.........

I guess this man finally had enough of it.

i think flight attendants should be able to tase passengers who don't remain seated until they're told they can get up. at the very least, if you jump up, they should have you be the last out.
hell, it's not like you can leave any quicker. bags have to be unloaded and waited on as well. what, you win a prize if you get off the plane first?

... follow a flight attendants instructions. Arrest the passenger for aggravated jackassery.

Too bad the flight attendant bailed out on his career, but at least he went out with flair :D :tro:

Ninja'd

:tro:

he's been arrested.

I see he grabbed two beers right before he hit the slide, too. :D:tro:

It gets better.

Shortly after JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh taxied to a stop at Terminal 5, Gate C around noon on Monday, flight attendant Steven Slater, 38 years old, was struck in the head with the luggage a passenger was trying to unload from an overhead compartment, according to an airport official with knowledge of the incident.

Steven Slater allegedly spewed obscenities at passengers before fleeing.

Mr. Slater demanded an apology from the passenger, but the passenger refused to give one. The two argued back and forth before the passenger directed an expletive at Mr. Slater, the official said.

Mr. Slater then got on the plane's PA system and directed the same obscenity at all the passengers, and added that he especially meant it for the man who refused to apologize, the official said.

Mr. Slater is then alleged to have activated the inflatable emergency slide, grabbed two beers from the flight attendant's galley and slid down the chute, the official said.

Good for him.

Cops found him in bed with his boyfriend when they arrived to arrest him at a beachfront home in the Rockaways with a porch overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, sources said.

He boasted to skeptical cops that he really did escape by the chute with his carry-on luggage.

"Oh yes I did! I threw them down first and I went down after," he told cops, according to sources.

That's weird. That guy looks totally straight.

Richi, if that guy looks straight to you, I imagine you would think I'm 6'5"

Just to be fair the passenger should be charged with assault.

seems the huff crowd by their comments support this guy. HUGE SUPRISE! ;)

maybe we can have him and the carry-on bag meet for a beer in the Rose Garden.

"But while I applaud his using the PA to deliver his expletive-laden rant (not really), and have absolutely no problem with him taking the beer as his parting gift (some guys get golden parachutes, others get golden hops), his deploying of the emergency slide is completely indefensible. There are all kinds of dangers associated with launching one of those slides, not the least of which is to the people on the ground. Someone on the ground could have been severely hurt, even killed, if they happened to be under that slide when it deployed. And there are all kinds of people—and vehicles—around a plane as it comes into a gate: ramp agents, maintenance personnel, plane provisioners, fuelers and fuel trucks, luggage carts.
Secondarily, though probably less important to most people's way of thinking, is the cost and inconvenience of this action. Those slides are like the airbags in your car: they're used once, and they're done. And also like your airbags, they're incredibly expensive. More irritating, at least to the people on the next flight, is that the plane had to be taken out of commission, at least for the rest of that day. That plane was supposed to go places, people had tickets and schedules, and that was shot to hell. I'm sure the plane had to be photographed and investigated by the FAA and the NTSB, meaning it couldn't be moved until their their investigations were satisfied, which takes a gate out of commission for (probably) a day (at least). At a busy airport like Kennedy, that's a huge issue that creates a domino effect.

loved this article. i 'hit that slide' about a month ago. start a new job today. a lot of owners/bosses right now think that because we are in a recession economy, they can treat their employees poorly. my boss found out that wasn't the case. apparently he would cuss and yell at people, something i had never experienced...well, a few weeks back he went on a tear on the phone. after a few yelled sentences at me saying it was all 'my fault' when in fact it was something completely out of my hands (i had warned him this account loss was on its way months ago because of a change at the account) i calmly said 'lets' just say next friday will be my last day'. funny, he stopped yelling immediately. felt like the weight of the world came off my shoulders at that moment.
i also just heard that after productivity had increased over the last few months, it has now gone down. people are burning out, which is something i can relate to. working like a dog, and never truly being off work, when you have a phone you constantly have to worry about, you will burn out. just that most of us don't get to make an exit that makes the news!
