Disgruntled flight attendant Steven Slater might not be the working class hero we've declared him, or so say witnesses to the ordeal.
Passengers on board Monday's JetBlue flight where Slater made his infamous emergency exit say that it was Slater who instigated the fight with a passenger, cursing at her after she asked where her bag was stowed, The Wall Street Journal reported today
One passenger explained that while exiting the plane at John F. Kennedy International Airport, she overheard a young woman asking Slater where she could find her luggage before the interaction took a nasty turn. "I didn't think she was rude in the least," she said. "It really blew my mind. It was so inappropriate."
Another passenger told The Wall Street Journal that Slater was rude to after she asked for something to mop up spilled coffee she found on her seat, saying that Slater "rolled his eyes at me and said, 'What?' in a real rude manner." When the passenger pointed out the coffee to Slater, she says he snapped at her: "No! Maybe when we get in the air! I need to take care of myself first, honey!" She said he was referring to the gash on his forehead. "It wasn't normal and he shouldn't have been acting that way," she said. "I felt so uncomfortable on that flight."

"Why are they applauding what he did? I don't understand," one passenger told The Wall Street Journal. "There are people out there who are dying for a job. I'm glad he's gone because someone can step in and do a much better job."
They're waiting for Breitbart to post the whole video. < /s>
Well, hold on now ....
Most of those guys in the back are butt boys....they love the travel so they can find new conquests on layovers....
They are generally very unstable people. You would not believe how many domestic dispute calls to the police involve homosexual couples.
Is Levin a Steven Slater fan? I’ll bet he is, being the master of the meltdown himself...lol.
“I picked him out as a EMO boy right away. Don’t need gaydar for that one.”
To be fair; he’s a flight attendant. Exactly how hard of a determination was it?
Nevertheless, the nutcase flight attendant has many fans on FR. I’m waiting for them to show up... waiting....
“...they love the travel so they can find new conquests on layovers....”
I heard they all have a long list of contacts in every city.
I agree, his actions certainly fit the gay stereotype.
I know plenty of Flight Attendants who don’t sleep around on every trip... just some. ;) Most of them are women!

Leave him alone. He had PMS.
Fifteen minutes and counting
What he did was totally UNPROFESSIONAL! Nothing to celebrate!
Sounds to me like such admiration is generally based upon incomplete and/or misleading news reports.
AMEN!! I KNEW he started it...Queen’s usually do!
