September 6, 201015 yr New York (CNN) -- The flight attendant whose dramatic departure from a JetBlue plane at a New York City airport has transformed him into a folk hero to some wants his job back, his lawyer told reporters Thursday. "That's his life," Steven Slater's Legal Aid defense attorney Howard Turman told reporters outside his client's home in Queens, near John F. Kennedy International Airport, where Slater's exit via an emergency slide vaulted him to national attention. "His father was a pilot; his mother was a flight attendant. That's in his blood. That's what he likes to do." Wait, I thought he was a pilot. No, my bad, he's a pirate. Not that there's anything wrong with that. ZING! (Sorry, it's a four day weekend and I'm on my second martini.)
September 6, 201015 yr Any coolness he had for a calculated 'fuck you, I quit you fuckers' was LOST when he attempted to have his lawyer leverage his fame/notoriety for a return to the job. And no, you can't return to a job where you deliberately deployed a slide without an actual emergency. They fire you when you do it accidentally, let alone maliciously. I don't personally have any beef whatsoever with gays. Having worked in an airline, I know they're a part of life (a big one in the airlines, for some reason the industry attracts a lot of them) and they're no less of a person/individual for having the gay. But I have a hard time with someone throwing what amounts to a worked up, irrational hissy fit, but then reversing course after they've had time to consider their actions. If you're going to burn a bridge...use napalm!
September 6, 201015 yr "...That's in his blood. That's what he likes to do." There's also blood in his stool. That's something else he likes to do.
September 6, 201015 yr A flight attendant who captured America's attention when he told off a plane full of passengers and then slid down an emergency chute resigned from his job last week and wasn't fired, his lawyer said Sunday. (Source) The typical "I'm not fired, I quit!" response! I suspect gay porn is in his future. Vertigo, let us know when that happens!
