Angry flight attendant swears at passenger, quits, and leaves plane by emergency chute BY Lindsey Pinto Vancouver Sun, AUGUST 10, 2010 A JetBlue employee has been arrested at his New York City home and will likely be charged with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief, according to Reuters, after sliding down the emergency chute of a passenger plane after an argument with a customer on a flight from Pittsburgh. "I've had it. That's it," said flight attendant Steven Slater over the plane intercom, after calling a passenger who had been fiddling with his luggage a "mother------". The aircraft had reportedly pulled up to the gate at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport when Slater asked a passenger to obey the 'fasten seatbelt' sign. When the passenger argued and continued struggling with his luggage in the overhead bin, Slater took to the intercom, called the passenger a name, publicly quit, opened the plane door and deployed the emergency chute. He was later arrested at his Queens NY home. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
