Flight Attendant Steven Slater Becomes Facebook Star

How do you amass nearly 20,000 Facebook fans in less than a week? You could try being a flight attendant who got so fed up with his job and dealing with ornery passengers that he quit over the airplane’s PA system and then made a dramatic exit through the emergency chute. That’s how Steven Slater did it.

The JetBlue flight attendant – or should that be former JetBlue flight attendant – reportedly told a passenger who was attempting to remove his bags from the overhead locker to sit down.
