LOL, Steven Slater put the phrase "Take This Job and Shove It!" into action. =)

Sad. He seems to have had a nervous breakdown with all the things in his life. At first I was pissed at him as he did endanger any ground crew below the aircraft. Not a professional way to handle the situation, even your quitting. However, I understand his anger. Too often passengers see airline employees as their personal slaves or verbal punching bags and give them little respect. It is hard to serve people in a society where everyone wants everything for nothing.

Ahhh finally somebody did it! Too bad the A@#%*$ pax who sent him over the edge isn't getting punished.
I hope this f/a gets on TV and something good comes from it. Best of luck to him!!!
Oy yeah, I do believe he does need some therapy though - seems like he's got alot of anger to get out!!!

I think he should just say he doesnt remember anything after the lovely passenger hit him in the head with his bag...

 

[robbedagain]

Although he sure di go out in "style", the real culprit I think is the combination of his personel life and the pax who hit him in the head and DID NOT apologize.

 

[Dont call me Shirley]

At least eight FB support pages and "Free Steven Slater" T-shirts available with just a few hours of the incident. Gotta love the 'net.

We love you, Steven. Can't wait to see you on David Letterman!

If *anyone* can understand a flipout like that it would be me. I knew it was coming from someone at some point. You all know how close I was...OMG. *love* it. I mean, unprofessional? Sure! But the awesome to unprofessional ratio gets tipped in his favor cuz he got the beer first. There, proof he isn't crazy. I love it!

What about arresting the passenger for striking him to begin with? No one should have to put up with the abuse just to work everyday.

Geez really? Impulsive, unprofessional and dangerous - this guys doesn't need a fan club - he needs psychiatric help.

I'm no attorney, but his "bizarre" reaction came immediately after being struck in the head. Sounds like a good defense to me.

Nope, you're no attorney....

Steve your my new hero. Wanna slam someone for their behavior? How about the woman who hit him with her bag and didn't even say sorry? Did you see the bruise on his head? I'm surprised he didn't slam her before he left. Again, STEVE YOUR MY HERO! ! ! ! !

Nothing like setting the bar high when picking your heros!
