Steven Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant who was arrested for his onboard antics, reportedly tried to get his message out about carry-on baggage long before his meltdown, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Beginning in 2008, a man named Steven Slater that matches his description began posting messages on Airliners.net, vehemently warning readers about the dangers of carry-on luggage and the “monster” it had become. His most intense participation was in a thread called "Carry-On Baggage Endangers Crew And Passengers."

He writes: "The airlines have created a monster. Lousy baggage handling, theft, and now gouging with bag fees, why WOULD anyone want to check a bag? Add to the our collective laxidasical approach to enforcement, and you get a disaster. At the end of the day, the airlines have to step it up. I hate to be bag nazi when i work a flight, but I feel if I am not, then I am letting down all those who cooperate and thry to help out as well."
