If I sabotaged my employer on the way out I would be prosecuted.
I can’t believe the way the lowlife “media” is turning this clown into a “folk hero”. America has gone crazy.
I think he is wrong and stupid. I think the people who are adulating him are REALLY stupid. He’s being charged with a felony. And he goes public sitting on his boyfriend’s lap! DISgusting.
How about — when you work with the public and represent your company, you are gracious? I don’t know, I just thot that was how it worked.
>> Am I the only one who thinks what he did was wrong.
No. It seems kind of obvious to me. Customers can be a PITA but professionals act professionally. If it were MY airline he’d be out the door PRONTO.
Its just wishful thinking for so many. I’ve thought of something like this. Would never act out on it.
Like if I won the lottery. My last day after winning 26 million would consist of me showing up with a tie and a dark pair of socks.
They could kiss my ass at that point.(After I hear the message that I have 16 mil in my account. :o)
No , you are not Bunny! I think he not only acted completely unprofessional , he is a dangerously unstable person!! I wouldn’t want him on my flight in a true emergency!!
He should certainly reimburse the airline the cost of the emergency chute. And yes, someone who screams obscenities and threats in public is no hero.
Every time I see this smirking smartass queerbot on the tube I could hurl...
I ain’t saying the passenger was right but you expect professionals to handle things a bit better than a six year old child would.
I hope his ten minutes of fame is over quick.
I assume the Plane was forced out of service for a substantial amount of time while the JetBlue Mechanics had to install a new escape slide.
In addition, the passengers on the remaining flights the Plane would have been used on were probably delayed or forced to make other Flight accommodations.
I hope they throw the book at the guy and force him to make restitution to JetBlue and any customers impacted by his actions.
On a different note, what are the odds this guy is a dyed in the wool Obama lover?
Let’s say Mr. Slater had been a terrorist who had just managed to kill a number of people. He managed to get to his vehicle and out of the airport. It’s not that far fetched to think that a terrorist could get a job as a flight attendant. Where was the airport security?
Disapprove all you want but grabbing the beers and making a first in history mode of job termination sells the story. Bonus points for style.
That’s an awesome point of view. SARC
When you are under attack, when your life is in danger, when your free country is being stolen from under you...
Submit. Go Passive.
If we had a few more JetBlues we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.
Nope. And it turns out that this little drama queen really is a queen.
There is a lot wrong there.
Making a 'hero' out of him is even more so.
I wonder how many will be 'inspired' to make some similar 'gesture' on their way to unemployment.
But he did it with such flair and surety, landing on his feet. I have enjoyed several chuckles about this story, and I'm not ashamed. Wishing him all the best in his next career choice. I would seriously consider hiring him if his career path crossed my industry.
Have you seen the guy? He’s always got this demented smile on his face. He’s a total nut, or an attention whore. Or both.
Yeah, it’s pretty freaky behavior to say the least. I wonder what it costs to inflate one of those escape chutes?
I went sliding down the escape chute of a big old passenger plane once. Of course, the plane was on fire, so it seemed like the prudent thing to do at the time.
