I flew JetBlue down to North Carolina this week. The flight attendant that graciously catered to me offered a cold Coca-Cola (the whole can!) and a bag of animal crackers (the lady next to me also offered her Star magazine and told me I smelled better than her sisters, but that really has nothing to do with this story). There was no turbulence, and everyone on the plane obediently followed the pilot’s fasten-your-seatbelts sign.
However, this was NOT the case on a JetBlue flight into JFK yesterday, where flight attendant Steven Slater became so enraged at a passenger that he yelled obscenities into the loudspeaker of the plane, stole two beers, deployed the plane’s emergency blow-up slide, escaped the aircraft by sliding down said slide and went home to his house in Queens, all the while fist-pumping and yelling “suck on that!” Ok, the last part I made up.
