Flight Attendant Rehab
The Jetblue flight attendant Steven Slater who had a melt down last year when he pop an emergency slide, and slid out the airplane had just completed his court order rehab as part of his probation. Mr Slater had been ordered to pay $10,000 back to Jetblue for destroying the emergency slide. Mr Slater had become a folk hero by some who suggest it was his frustration with some difficult passengers that flight attendants go through everyday that finally cause his melt down. Others had suggested he had no right to endanger others by deploying an emergency slide. In any case, his stunt open up a discussion on etiqutte & mannners when flying. This is something that has been lacking for many years. I personally see FAA violations from passengers everyday who ignore flight attendant request to do something simple as turning off your cell phone. Simple acts like this frustrates flight attendants, and sets a bad tone for the day. Not only is that passenger being disrespectful to the flight attendants, but also to his fellow passengers by delaying the flight while everyone must wait into they finish their conversation on their cell phone. Although flight attendants have no excuse for mistreating passengers, I can see how Mr Slater got frustrated. I just wish Mr Slater would've been more professional & handle it in a better way.
