hey, if you're gonna go out, go out big :lol:

[OneSickPsycho]

Read about that yesterday... too funny... and good for him. Stupid inconsiderate motherfuckers seem to be the norm these days and I cannot imagine how many of them these people deal with on a daily basis. Add to that the stress of travelling and it's gotta take a real special motherfucker to handle that job.

[the chi]

Theres some other article out there that states not only did she hit him with the luggage after repeatedly ignoring him , she also became belligerent and verbally abusive, cursing at him and slandering his lifestyle.

Sounds to me like she'd be in for assault at least, but where was the air marshall to assist with this incident? If someone is getting loud and obnoxious and wont follow airline instructions, arent they sposed to be around? Other folks have been tazed for much less. :lol:

They were reading the article this morning accompanied by Indiana Jones theme music. I feel bad for the guy, but at least he did it in style.

[OneSickPsycho]

Oh, and who writes this shit? My 5 year old neice?

"Slater got on the public-address system and cussed at the passenger..."

[ontwo]

Good for him. I'm sure he did what most would like to do

[azoomm]

Man, good for him.

This past weekend I had the most horrible screaming, shrieking baby on my flight from Boston to Atlanta. The ENTIRE flight. People were asking the attendants if they could be locked into the bathroom. We felt bad for the kid - but the PARENTS were dicks arguing with each other over who's fault it was that the kid was crying, and who should hold him.

I think they should be able to lock people in the bathroom if they aren't behaving.

[z06boy]

I think he's a dumbazz for what he did BUT I do agree it's tough dealing with the public. Yes the passenger deserved to be b!tch slapped and/or tased :lol: but this guy reacted pretty ignorantly...funny but ignorant. :idk:

i gotta agree with this. you know it's a stressful job when you take it but really he probably just gave up his job simply because someone would not apologize to him?
maybe he was already on his way out and wanted a big show to end his tenure as a steward.

Fuck that. Bad enough you need to be crammed in a metal sausage with recirculated air, and a bunch of fat, smelly motherfuckers.

I think there should be a no shrieking section.

If I'm entering a restaurant, and there's a loud kid, I always ask to be seated in the "no shrieking" section...

[the chi]

For the first time ever, I had to relocate the other day at lunch with my hubby. We chose the quietest least populated area only to be followed over by a family of 5. With a shrieking loudly talking lil male monster. We got up and moved after about 3 minutes.

I dont disturb others when Im in public, I'd like the same courtesy.

Aren't they only supposed to be on "major" flights between "major" destinations?

[Smittie61984]

That's what I love about the ambulance. You get to deal with the nutso people but if one gets out of hand, all you have to do is stop and request PD back up and next thing you know you have 5 cop cars around you ready to open up a 55gallon eletrically charged drum of whoop ass. Though patients are usually cool. It's their nutso friends and family who cause the trouble.

The fact that he grabbed a beer and left just pushes this up to epic awesomeness.

It gets better

The tale of Steven Slater—the JetBlue flight attendant who became a folk hero by storming off the job on an inflatable slide—keeps getting better. Gay sex, happy bragging, family tragedy, HIV status, and a confused ex-wife ahead. [Updated]

Yesterday we heard how the disgruntled flight attendant's altercation with a passenger (which was related to a suitcase and/or overhead bin bonking Slater on the head) culminated in him announcing over the plane intercom, "To the fucking asshole who told me to fuck off, it's been a good 28 years. I've had it. That's it," then grabbed two beers from the galley, activated the jet's inflatable slide, and bolted off the job. The content of Slater's rant remains in dispute: Some say he called the passenger a "motherfucker" instead of an "asshole," and others dispute who told whom to "fuck off." (And although he seemed to suggest he'd been working as a flight attendant for 28 years, he started working for the airlines 20 years ago.)

Either way, the word "fuck" occurred twice, and the act of fucking occurred once: As soon as the surly steward arrived at his beachfront home in the Rockaways, he jumped into bed with his boyfriend, and was mid-coitus when the police arrived to arrest him for reckless endangerment and trespassing. The New York Daily News reports the scene of the arrest:

He boasted to skeptical cops that he really did escape by chute with his carry-on luggage.
"Oh, yes, I did! I threw them down first and I went down after," he told cops, sources said.
He was grinning as police walked him in handcuffs to a squad car. "He left with a big smile on his face," said neighbor Curt Karkowski.
The New York Post adds that Slater told authorities he was HIV-positive. During his arrest Slater was photographed in a sage green t-shirt and madras shorts. Many outlets have noted that Slater's MySpace profile (which we raided yesterday) testifies to a history of "alcoholism and substance abuse." Did a life crisis predicate the haughty high-flier's mid-tarmac meltdown? We return to the Daily News:

"Slater's mother is dying," said Judy Rochelle, whose son Kenny lives with Slater. "She has lung cancer. She's had two chemos and the prognosis is not good. They were on their way out to California this weekend to settle her affairs."
Rochelle added that Slater "watched his father die of Lou Gehrig's disease not long ago. Slater's under a lot of pressure."
Judy's son Kenny appears to be the boyfriend that Slater was hooking up with when the cops showed. Kenny's brother John describes Slater as "an everyday ordinary guy, a nice guy."

Meanwhile, an interview with Slater's ex-wife and "great friend" Cynthia Susanne is interesting primarily for the revelation that Slater was once married. (Leave it to the "nice guy" to marry his fag hag.)

What happens next to our dramatic folk hero? The Queens district attorney is moving ahead with criminal charges, which could be punishable with as many as seven years in jail, which would be a major bummer, since he's now an anointed hero of the recession's overworked underclass. Steven Slater as yet to break his silence. [NYDN, TMZ, NYPost, Slate]

Update: According to his Legal Aid lawyer, Slater remains in police custody after failing to post a $2500 bail. Charged with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and criminal trespass, "I think he can't believe the amount of attention he's getting," lawyer Howard Turman said. "People who deal with the public face stress." Turman told reporters that Slater's altercation included a female passenger who "slammed the overhead" bin into Slater's head, and Times' City Room blog located a passenger who confirms that the flight attendant had a 1.5" red gash on his forehead. And why did Slater use the inflatable slide? "It was there," said Turman.

Me too, and if your kids are like that, it's YOUR FAULT as a parent.

My fucking kid never did that. I remember her being no more than 3-4 years old, and looking at me when other kids at another table were acting up and shrieking, as if to say "what the fuck is up with that shit?"...then she'd actually shoot the other kids dirty looks for acting that way. Classic.

I have a secret "system" to prevent tantrums from ever even being an option in kid's minds (but it needs to be taught literally IN THE CRIB, at the very youngest age). One day I'll write a fucking book about it...if for no other reason, than so I don't have to listen to other people's fucking brats.

I'm here in Savannah, GA for now for school. All the cops know all of the medics so when an ambulance neeeds some help they send a shit ton out because essentially it is their friend in trouble. They are busy but public safety gets priority first.

The cops are pretty cool too. Anytime we need chest compressions or an extra hand, they are always glad to hop on board. It's actualy pretty rare to see an ambulance pull up into the hospital and see a paramedic doing chest compressions. We NEVER EVER see firefighters. The only time I have seen firefighters here is when my hotel caught on fire.

That's interesting, because I've always heard it's usually the other way around. I know every time I've seen medics get called the firefighters were on the scene first.

[z06boy]

I posted that I thought what he did was ignorant and I still do.

HOWEVER after seeing/hearing about how many people think he's so cool now...if he can stay out of jail he'll probably get a reality show and write a book and make mega $$...maybe not so ignorant ? :idk:

I mean come on...look at Levi Johnston...dumb as a stump and in the limelight...geez. :screwy:

That's how it is in Atlanta too and just about everywhere I've been. It was weird when I went to Atlanta to do a clinical rotation. I kept grabbing the heart monitor and the medics would go "Don't worry about that, firefighters will have that taken care of" (Most FFs in Atlanta are EMT-B/I or Paramedic trained). Which is why when we need to do chest compressions we always grab cops becuase usually cops will be on scene. But if we need to do chest compressions in Atlanta and we have FD then we get a fire fighter to take care of that.

Honestly I prefer PD on scene more than FD. When people start going apeshit because their coked up husband is dying, cops can tase a bitch and beat them down and keep them out of my hair. I nore FD can do that.

waait until you have a 400 lb patient trapped in a bathroom that is 5' x 5' you'll be kissing some firefighter ass. the pd take their sweet ass time for us and never help on calls. it's an unofficial rule that o2 bottles and metal clipboards are standard equipment for violent patients

PD will help with patient moves here! I had a horrible one last week. A paramedic of 20 years said this was the worst house she has ever been in ever. 400lb woman trapped in a house of literal garbage. Had to dig her out with a shovel (literally).

Shit, that guy thinks airline passengers are bad. Deal with family members who have a relative (especially a child) that is dying. Though some of the worst ones are the one's with family that is NOT dying. "Neck and Checks" are my favorite.

[Dragonpaco]

so you're still doing ride alongs and you think you've seen bad? wait to be grizzled before you act grizzled. trust me EMS is really easy during the beginning. back on topic though; i can think of worse ways to leave a job than a beer and a ride on a giant slide.

Well...

"The emergency chute deploys at 3,000 pounds per square inch within seconds and could easily injure or kill ground crews or others on the tarmac who are unaware the chute has been activated," Brown said. "This would have been a far different arraignment if someone had been standing under the emergency chute when it deployed."

The cost to replace the emergency escape slide is in excess of $25,000, according to Jet Blue security."

...as far as trespassing I'm not sure but maybe...just maybe running across the tarmac and going through doors and/or outside gates that he wasn't supposed to ? :idk:

Don't get me wrong...his reaction was "funny" to a certain extent and dealing with the public can be a pain in the azz for the service industry but that was his job and if didn't like it...just fvckin' quit !! He doesn't really need to go to jail imho but prosecuted and put on probation and fined...yep he does. We can't have mofo's reacting this way just because they have a bad day and if we make a hero out of him I wonder how many other people will think humm...I just found my get rich quick scheme...freak out...do something crazy and I get a book deal and maybe a reality show or a movie...yippee !!! Fvck that.

Yea it may already be happening but we sure don't have to help it happen.

To sort of paraphrase Dennis Miller, when he was young this guy made the poor career decision to be a waiter in a bad restaurant in the sky serving assholes for mediocre pay and some free airplane tickets. Instead of dealing with that decision like an adult and finding a new profession he decided to be a little bitch about it and throw a fit, in the process screwing his employer over. I'm apathetic about the criminal side but I sure as hell think JetBlue should sue him for any costs that resulted from the sand that got in this guy's vagina.

He said he checked before he deployed the chute for anyone who might have been standing around. It's no harder than looking both ways before you cross the street. As for tresspassing and the price to replace the chute, why not let Jet Blue decide whether to sue him? I'm tired of the federal government poking its nose into anything involving aviation.

[KSGregman]

Ummmm.....it's PRECISELY because the federal government gave in and de-regulated the airline industry that it's in the absolute shit shape that it is right now.

Not enough crews/equipment to properly handle the load? Thank deregulation. An inefficient and easy to "corner the market and thereby keep prices high" hub and spoke domestic system? Thank deregulation.

If you had any sense at all, you'd be PRAYING for the federal government to re-regulate that industry. Unless you just like getting ripped off and receiving shit service?

He's also said a few other things that several witnesses are disputing and I didn't mention anything about the federal government or Jet Blue. I just stated how he probably got charged with trespassing and endangerment.

I can walk outside right now and shoot my Glock in the middle of the street but look around first to make sure I won't hit anyone and swear that I didn't endanger anyone either but I bet most everyone else will view it differently and I won't be having a good weekend. The guy doesn't need to go to jail imho but he DOES need to be charged/fined/fired and put on probation. Oh he sure was funny and entertaining but he also acted like a dumbazz and if you choose to play then prepare to pay...he knew the rules before he decided to act like little b!tch. :idk:

But of course!!

LOS ANGELES — JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater's future in the not-so-friendly skies might be up in the air — but he's reportedly already landed a reality TV offer to help other people quit their jobs.

According to TMZ, Slater, who skyrocketed to fame last week after exiting a plane via the emergency chute — (but not before cursing at passengers and grabbing two beers for the ride) — is being pursued by Stone Entertainment to host a show about fellow fed-up employees quitting their jobs in creative ways.

Slater's lawyer has reportedly received the offer, but no word if he is interested in working the reality TV route. (right, like he would turn it down :rolleyes: )

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Slater, 38, currently remains free on $2,500 bail after being charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing. The 20-plus-year flight attendant could face up to seven years in prison if convicted.

[Rangerscott]

At least the plane wasnt in the air. Hahaha I just made my self chuckle imagining the slide inflating and him sliding down it into a long fall. Hahahahahaha
