A new term has been created on the jargon horizon. Due to a recent event on Jet Blue Airlines, where a passenger banged a flight attendant on the head with luggage, after they had been told to remain seated, the passenger called the flight attendant "you mother--------". The flight attendant proceeded to call out the passenger over the loud speaker PA system on the plane, then opened the emergency exit and activated the blow up slide and exited the plane with 2 bottles of beer.
Congratulations to Steve Slater for his efforts to bring some attention to rude customers on airlines.
In case you didn’t open a web browser yesterday, there was a little incident involving a JetBlue flight attendant. Specifically, 38-year-old Steven Slater got pissed off at passengers after his flight landed in New York City, so he grabbed the airplane intercom, started swearing, then grabbed two beers from the food area, opened the emergency door of the plane, and slid down the emergency slide. The news exploded on the Internet, with Facebook pages being made in support of Slater, as well as video re-enactments. And, of course, he’s been the top Trending Topic on Twitter (as has “flight attendant”) for two days running now. And now he’s getting the Mann treatment as well.
