"According to police sources, he threw his luggage down first and said something to the effect of "there goes 28 years," before he took the plunge."

He probably should have thrown the lady down the chute. But I digress.

Peggy Noonan's recent article "Boiling Over" comes to mind.

Slater was later arrested at his home in Belle Harbor, Queens by Port Authority officials. He was found by police in a sexual embrace with his partner, sources said.

LOL

Well, the guy’s gonna lose his job and probably never work as a flight attendant again...but I kind of understand the guy, too. I think we’ve all had days where we just want to go D-Fens* on the idiots around us.

Of course, the guy might have had other issues too. I wonder if he was over Macho Grande...

My plane story but it really has nothing to do with this one. We flew into Tampa last December for the Outback Bowl. When we landed, I stood up to get my computer bag in the overhead storage area. Well, I am on the short side and this nice or so I thought man from behind my seat asked it the bag was mine and he started to get it down for me. I had turned around to get my purse from the seat. When I turned around, I heard my friend say something to the effect that he had taken my laptop and was in the thingy from the plane to the terminal. A stewardess ran after him and got it back. I guess he thought he had just won a good lap top computer. Made me so upset to think there are such crooks in this world. Made me a whole lot more careful when getting off planes.

Reminds me of Tracey Ullman’s character, the gay male flight attendent. Hissy fit city.

He forgot to thank the passengers for flying JetBlue.

This is just hilarious. The guy flips out, tells everyone off, grabs a couple road beers and pulls the plug. Then goes home and becomes master of his domain. He is my new hero!

I can almost sympathize...

Some days are indeed worse than others.

What do you want to bet that this guy is gay? He certainly has the temperament of many homosexual men.

I said it before and I’ll say it again. I like this guy.

And, flight attendants don’t get nearly the respect they deserve. They work very hard, at long and odd hours, on cramped airplanes packed with stressed-out people. They’re extensively trained to handle all kinds of dangerous events, not least of which is saving your life.

I hope Jet Blue gives him some time off and then let’s him come back to work.

She called him a mo-fo.
That pretty well explains who she is.

5’ll get you 10 he’d have much preferred “UP” the chute than down it.

Defense via homophobic victimhood in 3... 2... 1...

He’ll be Sherroded and wind up head of the Attendant’s union.
