JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater gave up Monday, exiting his plane and his career with a very dramatic flair. Why bring him up, you ask? People are calling him heroic... If you ask me, it took some guts to do what he did, but heroic might be pushing it just a little...
It's true, people are not usually happy to be sitting on a plane being cramped for sometimes over ten hours. If you go on a plane you have to strain to stuff giant bulging bags into crowded overhead bins, or check them at high cost, and then hope that the bag will arrive at the other end! Yeah. So planes and airports do get irratating, but you don't have to take it out on the flight attendants. Flight attendants take most of the heat, and that's why I think that job is a hard one.
Steven Slater had a good reason to get fed up! He was cursed by an annoying, obnoxious passenger over luggage. He then returned the insult over the plane's P.A. system so everyone could hear! :) Good move! He then lowered the emergency chute, grabbed a beer, thanked the better-behaved passengers on board and slid down apparently coming out... a celebrity? Even I don't know how that happened... I mean sure he has some guts, and I admire him for his actions, but describe him as heroic? I don't see how!
