OMG, this is the best story ever. Sassy flight attendant Steven Slater is my new hero. Basically, earlier today, Steven was working on a Jet Blue flight that landed at JFK. A passenger stood up to get his luggage before he was supposed to, Steven told him to sit down and went over to him but unfortunately got there at the precise moment the luggage was coming down and it hit Steven in the head. The passenger cursed him out, Steven got on the microphone and cursed out the passenger for all to hear, then after declaring 20 years in the airline industry had been enough, said "It's been great," grabbed a beer from the beverage cart, pulled the emergency door open, slid down the chute out to the parking lot and away from his airline career, ran to his car and drove home, where he was promptly arrested, with a smile on his face. Drama! So wish I had been on that flight. You go, girl.
Here's the NYT article.
