Today we salute you Mr. Pissed off probably effeminate male flight attendant. when a passenger wont listen, you demand an apology, and if that doesnt work, you demand some respect. So grab the PA, pop the slide, pilfer 2 refreshing
pilsners, and huff it home to get your freak on.
So pop that top Emissary of the escape slide, because you know how to put the
Mr. pissed off probably effeminate male flight attendant.

I've been accused of letting a nugget of brilliance slip out every now and then, if im not too busy being a jack ass.

You cant tell me this wasn't going through his mind.

This is what separates a Good Dude from a Genuine Fing American Hero. He didn't just lose his poop, he lost his poop and had the presence of mind to get liquored up on the way home and serve it up to who- or what- ever he likes to serve it to. That is going out in Style. I seriously think this guy deserves a JC Merit Badge or something. It could only be better if he'd guzzled the first beer and broken the bottle over Mr. Self-Important D-bag's head before he popped the slide.

Agreed. Let's make it a goal - the entire community - to get this guy to JC and to NJC. Seriously.

Yeah thanks alot to everyone who posted on this thread for making me spew cheerios all over my laptop and almost die from laughter....
This has definitely got the 'Strip Club Dancers Picket Church' story beat.
On another note, good thing we have all that security theater in place at airports, eh? Dude was able to get home and get it on before they caught him.
Can we do a sequel Real Men of Genius for the TSA?

A JetBlue flight attendant at Kennedy Airport Monday afternoon activated an emergency slide after a confrontation with a passenger on a plane, grabbed cans of beer from the aircraft's galley and slid down the chute
before eventually driving home, officials said.
Steven Slater, 39, ran into the airport terminal and then drove to his home in Belle Harbor, Queens, officials said, where Port Authority Police detectives later arrested him. He's being held at JFK pending arraignment on charges of reckless endangerment and criminal mischief, police said
later on in the article...
Phil Catelinet, who said on his blog that he was on the flight, wrote that he saw Slater in the AirTrain terminal after the flight. He wrote: "As we rode the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, he talked about how he'd been a flight attendant for 28 years and he was fed up with this passenger who had a bag problem.
"When we got off at Jamaica, the flight attendant went one way (to the parking lot) and the other passenger walked with me toward the Long Island Rail Road. I asked him if I'd heard correctly that this flight attendant had used the emergency slide to get off the plane, and he confirmed it."
I'd snap too if I had been a flight attendant since age 11?!? Also, the air train that goes to the LIRR is not near the employee parking lot.
I love how the media will report anything off some random guys blog.

It's a job I wouldn't want to do either. I just don't have the patience to deal with people!
Generally most passenger problems, people see the pilots as the 'final' authority so whenever I have to intercede in a situation, it's pretty simple. But if a passenger were to go on and on and on about a situation where a decision was already made, I'd probably want to deploy a slide and send them barreling off the airplane..

Agreed. It takes a certain type of guy/gal to handle it day in and day out.
This is legendary stuff. Forget just walking off and up the jetway...tell them how you really feel, grab a couple brews, and pop the slide to freedom. AWESOME.

True true. He must have read page 63 in Murdoughnut's Book on Life...
"Some people say 'don't burn bridges.' I say burn them like the freaking Viet Cong was chasing you from the other side."

That's just, like, your opinion, man
I have to give people credit who are able to be gate agents and flight attendants for a living. I've got a couple gate agent friends, and I hear all sorts of stories about passengers who'll come up cussing, screaming, going on about this and that...
Strangely enough, by the time they get to me they're perfectly calm*. I prefer it that way.
* I have seen the occasional "passive-aggressive" approach, though. One day we were held on the ground for an hour after taxi out because of flow into BOS. Not having a cockpit door, I was there among the passengers and was doing my best to keep them updated. Honestly, there just aren't too many updates to give when all I hear is "Expect a 15 minute delay for sector saturation." Well, one lady and her kids were apparently annoyed enough with this to absolutely trash my aircraft before they left. Cookies ground into the carpet, trash thrown around.
Classy.

Just out of curiosity, what would you guys do if you were non-reving in uniform in the aircraft, and a passenger became abusive, or physically assaulted a flight attendant? What if it wasn't your company? Would you intervene, or do anything? I'm just curious what the protocol is there.
