dre Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Sorry I dunno where I should post this... Blue Collar Hero or Menace? http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/08/09/new.york.escape.chute.opened/index.html?hpt=C1 This flight attendant told a passenger not to open the overhead luggage compartment while the plane was still taxiing and the passenger told him to go **** himself. The argument escalated and the flight attendant got on the intercomm and told the passengers that they were a bunch of **** morons. Then he grabbed two beers from a refreshment cart, deployed the emergency evacuation shoot, slid down it and fucked off across the tarmac with a beer in each hand.

TimG Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Would the reaction be the same store worker tossed a brick though the store window on his way out? Deploying the slide is funny but it is a type of vandalism that costs his former employer money. He should be, at a minimum, expected to pay back all costs incurred by Jet Blue as a result of his 'vandalism'.

bloodyminded Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 He was out of line. But I think people can identify to a degree, and enjoy this kind of behaviour vicariously. He's no hero, blue-collar or otherwise, but "menace" has connotations that don't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still thought the story was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shwa Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yeah, he IS facing criminal charges and he probably deserves to pay a little fine or whatever. But I still thought the story was hilarious. And just the sort of thing that will get him some dates on the talk show circuit, maybe a book about the incident and then a role on some truly bad reality-TV show that employs has-beens that never really were.

Michael Hardner Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Good laughs often involve breaking some eggs. Like poor Tye Thomas - the 21 year old mayor of Gun Barrel City Texas .... Thomas was arrested for public intoxication (also a misdemeanor) after he called police repeatedly, demanding to be arrested.[6]A few weeks later, after serving 54 weeks in office, Thomas resigned as mayor.
