Now that's stylish.


A JetBlue flight attendant got into an argument with a passenger on a jetliner arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport Monday, then grabbed a beer from the galley, deployed an emergency exit slide and fled the plane, authorities said.

Lends some real meaning to the song, "Take this job, and shove it".

While I think this guy did the wrong thing (he could have injured workers below the plane), I understand his frustration.

I probably would have just beat the hell out of the guy who whopped me in the head with the suitcase.

I cannot sympathize with anyone who puts others in danger because of their own frustrations. He could have just said "I quit" and walked..I don't excuse his actions any more than I excuse the Conn shooters actions.

LOL, Flight attendants are right up there with nurses as some of the most abused employees!! Waiters and waitress being the number one IMO!
Good for him, he probably was ready to punish that customer

Nothing like going out with a bang!

Must have been a union job since this person had to actually quit after drinking on the job, deploying the escape chutes and leaving the aircraft.
