On Monday afternoon, fed-up Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater walked off the job in high style.
As Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh to New York was taxiing to the gate at JFK Airport, a passenger reportedly stood up to retrieve his luggage and Slater asked him to sit down. An altercation ensued and Slater was allegedly hit in the head with by the compartment or the luggage. He then reportedly got on the PA system and, according to another passenger, said "To the passenger who just called me a motherfucker, fuck you. I've been in this business 28 years, and I've had it." He then grabbed a beer, activated the emergency chute, slid out the plane, and ran to his car, which was parked in an employee lot. He then drove home.
He was later arrested by Port Authority of New York And New Jersey police at his home in Belle Harbor, Queens. He faces charges of criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing.
Slater, who by various reports is either 38 or 39, was still in custody on Monday night.
