New York (CNN) -- A flight attendant whose profanity-laced tirade has turned him into a folk hero of sorts was released on bail Tuesday night from a Bronx detention center.

Bail of $2,500 was posted for Steven Slater, of Queens, New York, after being charged Tuesday morning. Authorities say he grabbed some beer and triggered an inflatable emergency chute for a dramatic exit from a plane at a JFK Airport terminal in New York.

Slater was later arrested at his home in Belle Harbor, Queens by Port Authority officials. Police sources said that when authorities found Slater he seemed to be in the midst having sexual relations. :sick:

That's more info than I need.

Maybe the great escape got him in the mood.

I am sorry but that guy is a riot. He needs a role on Broadway.

For those of us without an inflatable slide may I suggest a Sit-N-Spin. You loose it at work jump on it and spin around repeating Slater's intercom line. You'll get 302'd and have a nice vacation.

O M G! I love this man. I would totally marry him if I wasn't already married.

And if he didn't have a boyfriend.

I think they should bring charges against the rude, obnoxious passenger.

They have absolutely no reason or right to report that he was engaged in sexual activity. Forchrissake!!

Personally, I think that's part of an underlying gay slur going on. A little--ha, ha--"in joke" about the whole thing, at the guy's expense. And at the expense of the gay community, even if he himself isn't gay. Check out the comments on some of the news outlets. It's disgusting, and why go into that??

In my opinion, his sexuality does not need to come into it anywhere, including w.r.t. his lawful activities at the time of arrest, and I mean whether he be gay or straight.

If he were a straight man that wouldn't have been in the article. They should be ashamed.

I heard this story yesterday and just couldn't stop laughing. I mean talk about a mental melt down at work! He must have been burned out for awhile and this was bound to happen.

 

[believe09]

I have been a passenger on flights when he was an attendant. I loved him. He was kind, funny and charming....he stood out to me because of his gender I have to admit. I have been following the story and hope that there is no lasting harm to anyone involved-kudos to him for deciding he had had enough however!

Are you kidding I LOVE this guy - never met him but let's face it; if you've ever had to work with "the public" you know how mind bending and grating on your last nerve it can be. Now add being trapped in an aluminum shell with no employee room to go let off some steam and wow - I'm not surprised it doesn't happen more often but THIS guy - he knows how to "walk off the job"!!!!. He got on the cabin intercom and said "to the passenger that told me to F off, F you you mother Effer! I've been in this business 28 years (or something) and I've had it!" THEN he grabs a few beers from the cart, opens the door and slides down the emergency shoot/plastic sled - and walks across the tarmak to his car!!!

He's my hero really. Too bad his dramatic exit has him facing criminal charges. I hope he has a really great attorney.

Airline travellers can be A holes. Apparently the passenger was standing and getting stuff out of the overhead bin while they were still taxiing to the gate and something hit the flight attendant on the head that he was trying to remove.

I hope the passenger is counter-sued. Can't people just stay in their seats and follow directions? Geesh.

 

[STEADFAST]

I just wish I were on the plane to see this (and the look on the woman's face who set him off.)

 

[ziggy]

so apparently they sent out the SWAT team and had helicopters overhead to arrest him. brother. And they think HE overreacted

He was sporting a big bruise on his head - wonder if that was from getting hit witht the unruley passenger's bag????

Just verifies my thoughts, as a passenger I think the only way I can get through regular travel anymore is with prescription meds.

I thought of this when I heard about this steward. I don't blame him one bit, after having worked with the public for too many years, way too many years.

Anyone watching Nancy Grace? She's talking about "The Cursing Flight Attendant". She's asking a fellow passenger about him and she says "Well...WHAT DID HE SAY?" and the reporter answers "Well...He said the F WORD!" and then Nancy asks "WHAT F WORD? Like F. U.?" - I mean did she really need that defined? I'm cracking up here.

I feel his pain. He did what I would have done if I found out I'd won the lottery while on the plane.

Well, technically Nancy it's F.Y. but I think you know what I mean. :crazy:

What really scares me are the number of people who see this guy as some type of "hero" for the "common man." (Especially now, that more is becoming known about him, personally). Speaks volumes for the state of our society.

 

[STEADFAST]

The news this morning -- I don't know what it was, one of those morning shows -- talked to 3 or 4 passengers who all said that he had been rude all during the flight and that the woman that supposedly set him off just asked a simple question.

That's what I'm talking about. This is the type of person you want for a hero? (not you, personally, but his 20,000 facebook friends).

Pa. passengers call JetBlue flight attendant rude

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100812/ap_on_re_us/us_flight_attendant_arrest

This guy is NOT a hero!

Well, I am kind of questioning the response of the three passengers-two of the three interviewed said he had a fresh, bleeding gash and none of the three were anywhere near where the assault by the passenger supposedly happened. I'm inclined to believe that those three interacted after he was hit with the overhead bin. The one lady, I watched her on the Today show-she said she noticed he had a fresh,bleeding wound on his head, and that she asked him for a wipe to clean up the coffee spill on her seat despite this. He got huffy and told her he had to take care of his wound first. My thought was, how rude of him to take care of his bleeding wound before her coffee spill!


Not that I'm saying he's a hero-just that I watched the interviews, and they all admitted they were nowhere near where it happened. And that he was bleeding on his head.

 

[oh_gal]

I just think there are much, much, much better examples of heros. He wouldn't be my first, or my 1,000th choice.
