This is a job for women. Of course the man screwed up. Men are not cut out to be stewardesses.
If you’re having a bad day today, just think about this poor schmuck.
lol... this post is so you.
They mean *last* day,don’t they?
File it under, ‘and you thought you had a bad day.’
Alex , I say Diversity hire for 100 please .
Friday the 13th fault.
Note to self: that lever does NOT open the storage closet.
We don’t know who it was that made this error, but you can bet everybody with British Air knows, if they’re interested.
This event will follow that flight attendant for a long time.
His co-workers probably already have a few clever nicknames for him.

“inexplicably opened an emergency door”
You don’t just open a plane door by accident. What was this guy thinking? Did he think it was the door to the bathroom?
Short version -- he was Chief Purser and while waiting for the jetway to be positioned, a passenger distracted him. When the CSR knocked on the window, he turned back to the door, forgetting he had not disarmed it, cranked the handle and almost blew the CSR down the ramp.
A replacement for a 777 slide probably runs into the $80,000 or more range. My friend blew a slide on the 757... cost $50,000 back in 1998. A 777 is a double-lane slide and much larger.
The funniest (strangest) part about this is that I think I took that plane out afterwards. I had shown up to my gate at Chicago and went down the jet bridge... when I got to the end, the mechanics told me I had to wait because they had to replace a slide. I looked down and saw the deflated slide hanging from the forward door. "What happened?" "Some guy busted the slide and nearly killed a gate agent." "OMG! Are they okay? Are we cancelled?" "Nope, we'll just swap it out." I watched them unhook the slide from the brackets, drop it down onto the tarmac, bring up a new slide pack, slide it into the door, lock it all up and done.
Practice makes perfect!
Well that is a true oh s*** moment I’d say
Well hes a male flight attendant so theres about an 85% chance he is gay. So yeah, “dude” acts like a lady.
On the plus side, its a mistake he won’t likely repeat, one way or another
Nicely done ...
Was that wrong?
“when HE...”
I’m old enough to remember ‘Weight in Proportion to Height”, and of course women-only, young women.
That’s why I fly on non-Western airlines whenever possible.
