Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

I am sorry that this flight attendant was treated rudely by a passenger, but I do not see any way that he can hope to have his job back. Attendants are expected to maintain their cool even under extreme conditions. This attendant failed to do so, and that failure took as theatrical a form as might be imagined.

Who knows what combination of personal and professional factors brought this attendant so close to the edge of reason? We all have our moments when our emotions and concerns put us at the raggedy edge.

That having been said, there are few ways to more clearly demonstrate one's unsuitability for a job than by doing what this man did. Perhaps he was once an ideal flight attendant. He worked in the industry for 20 years. But who can trust that he won't have another emotional breakdown over a relatively minor incident? If they give him his job back, I'll be very surprised.

Perhaps he should consider a new career opportunity based on his recent antics ?

I myself have some suggestions...

They may want to hold off on any movie deal, some passengers are saying that he had that cut on his head at the begining of the flight, they're also saying he was also being an asshole from the begining of the flight. So they may want to wait for the whole story before they start casting his TV bio, "Take this job and shove it Jet Blue!" Some are saying he smelled of beer from take off, this guy may crash & burn.

Having a hard time caring about this guy.

His job is to show idiots how to buckle a seatbelt, and hand out sodas.

He flipped and lost it... ok. Big deal.

At least he had a job... lots of people dont.

Agreed. This story doesn't even scratch my glittering ennui armor.

Also, doesn't it just seem like a stunt? Not on the scale of Balloon Boy, of course, but suspicious nonetheless.

I'm going to quit my job, expose myself to a judge. I hope there are cameras; I hope to get a reality show.

Realistically, I have to agree.
But I still got a chuckle out of it.

Yup, me too. The "hero" part of it comes from anyone who's ever had to work with the general public, and the frustrations dealt with when you're telling stupid people for the umpteenth time to NOT do that, and they still go ahead and do that, and of course then it's all your fault when it goes to shit.

So on that score, I like this guy. He said "Fuck you, I'm out!", grabbed a couple brews on the way out, popped the slide and motored. I think it's a little bit hilarious and a little bit subversive.

He shouldn't be a flight attendant anymore, though. He might have better luck doing instructional videos for passengers, on what to do and what NOT to do on your flight. 'Cause I have a feeling some people might just listen to him now! :D

Mike, you realize that this incident was all Dubya's fault, right? His improper response to 9-11 (which was JUST what Al Qaeda was hoping for, btw) that drained our $ and our self esteem & set the stage for our present worldwide recession ALSO made the world a little bit meaner. Peeps today are ruder than ever, and it's mainly Georgies' fault.
I'd sue Bush if I were this dude.

Or your hero Barry....to be continued. The story of the boy king is still being written. "W" story is in the books, so far Barry's story is mostly vacations and golf outings. I think "HISTORY" is going to be nasty to Barry and his whores in the MSM.

Well intentioned? Famous last words. Was life under "W" this bad? The only good thing about Barry's rule is when it's over we'll have fewer news papers and magazines. Barry will be Prez when the world comes to an end in 2012, that'll be his fault also.....and he like hot sweaty man sex.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Chris: Yeah, for us too. It wasn't until the last few years that we really started hurting, tho' we'd been going downhill ever since we lost our jobs in the City anyway.

But not just financially; I watched the wars I was protesting build, the homeless expand, my tiny little 401K get smaller, our civil liberties go up in smoke, environment go to hell, big business and big oil get breaks left and right (little did I know...), rich get richer, tax cuts for them that I was paying for, and lots more.

Yeah, I'd say it was worse then. A lot. If Obama doesn't fix a lot of those things Dumbya did, then it'll be about the same.

This guy? He's an ass, not a hero by any means. I understand the feeling; I condemn the action. One good thing; he won't be collecting unemployment!
