If you have been keeping up to date with the news, then you might have heard of the JetBlue flight attendant who made a dramatic exit from a plane at JFK Airport by popping the emergency exit, grabbed some beer from the galley and escaped via the plane’s emergency slide.

Steven Slater posted $2500 bail last night, the attendant’s attorney said that his client has been stressed because his mother is ill with lung cancer. According to the lawyer, everything started when two female passengers got into a dispute over the overhead bins. It was at this point, says the lawyer, that the attendant was hit in the head with the bag.
When the plane arrived at JFK, it all started again when the one woman whose bag had to be gate-checked became upset that she wouldn’t be getting her bag back immediately. “The woman was outraged and cursed him out a great deal,” said the attorney for the attendant. “At some point, I think he just wanted to avoid conflict with her.”
The complaint states that the cost to JetBlue of replacing the emergency slide is at least $25,000.
