"WHAT??"

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."

His “orientation” doesn’t concern me as much as his actions being similar to a terrorist, even sending out a signal to them since it was so easy for him to flee the scene. My concern re his actions was the violation of passenger and employee safety as well as airport security.
drama queen!....
Well, I think many people responded to the expression of frustration and rage that we feel when we see the economy going over a cliff. This guy is obviously not a good poster boy for what is really bothering folks, but folks are looking for a way to express their anger.
Well, yes, now that the facts are coming in ... which sensible people wait for.
Only IMMATURE people would hail this PUNK, this GAY PUNK that cost people time and money, would hail him as a hero....he’s a ZERO.
They showed a video story of Slater and his live in partner on TV yesterday several times. No doubt about it.....
Change the name in the title and he could be our next Senator from MN.
Exactly. And it bothers me that fewer people even blink an eye at "acting out" anymore. The passengers reiterate how uncomfortable they were with his attitude, presence, or "vibe" if you will. He was working up to it. They are lucky he didn't have a weapon.
He also looked like a bitchy fag.
“Want to get away?”
“Want to get away?”
...I hope that post was meant sarcastically...because your using a web site for a comment is somewhat ludicrous... butt boys in the back peddle their butts all over the world..that's why they work for dollar and hour....
Question...
Does this mean gays will have to pay more in taxes for health care, as some have suggested overweight people should? No? I thought not.
Homosexuals will never show restraint because they are obsessed with sex. That is their identity.
“I know plenty of Flight Attendants who don’t sleep around on every trip... just some. ;) Most of them are women!”
VERY rare for the airline for whom I worked. We just wanted to go to the hotel and be ALONE!
Not sure if it was mentioned on this thread, but this Slater guy is HIV positive. It was revealed in an article on the day the incident took place.
Every gay gut that i have erer known has been an emotional wreck, drama queen, on the verge of snapping, etc etc....
They all need thereapy.
If this guy really wanted to get back at the passengers, that were obviously driving him nuts, when he got knocked in the head he should have sought medical attention. You need flight attendants to make a flight crew.
