Slater made headlines in August when he made a dramatic exit from his job at JetBlue. After losing his cool with passengers, Slater announced he was quitting. He grabbed two beers, deployed the emergency slide and made his great escape.

At first he was considered a working class hero who did what many dream of doing: telling the boss to stick it. But as more information came out, his halo disappeared.

He needs anger management. According to ABC News, they can't get any witnesses to back up his story. Good luck on winning this one, Steve.

You're kidding right? And you're aware of what this guy did? You think he should keep his job? With the support of the company??? This is business! You live in a fantasy land.

He should sue JetBlue for not supporting him as an employee after an injury and mistreatment by a passenger as well as the aftermath he endured from the event. JetBlue swept this under the rug in the media.

If Jet Blue cannot support their employees when they are mistreated why fly with them? There are other airlines to use. The Jet Blue CEO is not worth the office space he takes up.

Hey Barbie- what world do you live in? Poor guy, nobody appreciates him. Boo hoo! Man up, pull it together & do your job. If you can't, someone else can. Simple.

I would not want to fly in a plane if he was the attendant. Witnesses on the flight said no passenger was rude to him .They said HE was the rude one.

I hope he gets a job where he is appreciated. Did the airline ever find the person who smacked his head with the luggage?

I've seen my share of rude flight attendants too. The flight attendants that are friendly and nice are generally treated well. He needs a job where he is not working with the public. Hope he finds it.
