Best Way to Quit a Job

The new world’s best way to quit your job now belongs to Steven Slater, a Jet Blue flight attendant. Shortly after landing at JFK, Slater was struck in the head by a passenger’s carry on luggage. He then picked up the microphone, cussed out a passenger, announced his resignation, grabbed some Labatt’s Blue beer from the galley, popped a door, and inflated the emergency chute. He simply walked off the tarmac to his car and went home. EPIC.

From WSJ here by way of HotAir:

A jetBlue flight attendant upset because a passenger refused to apologize after accidentally striking him with luggage, spewed obscenities over the PA system, then activated and slid down a plane’s emergency chute before disappearing into a terminal at John F. Kennedy airport Monday.

JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh had taxied to a stop at Terminal 5, Gate C around noon Monday when flight attendant Steven Slater, 38, was struck in the head with luggage that a passenger was trying to unload from an overhead compartment.

Slater demanded an apology from the passenger, but the passenger refused. The two argued before the passenger told Slater to “f— off. Slater then got on the plane’s PA system and directed that same obscenity at all the passengers and added that he especially meant it for the man who refused to apologize.

Slater then activated the plane’s inflatable emergency slide, grabbed two beers from the galley, then slid down the chute. The attendant then ran from the tarmac into the terminal. He made his way to his car and drove to his residence in Belle Harbor, Queens.

If you’re gonna go, do it in style.
