Over and Out
Unsurprisingly, Steven Slater is getting a lot of coverage today after his unorthodox resignation.
The Washington Post reports that cabin crew were "smiling the secret smile of the righteously vindicated."
One of them remarked:
"He lived my fantasy. He is the Thelma and Louise of flight attendants."
Another took time out from folding a grumpy Texan into an overhead locker to ponder the four types of passengers flight attendants have to deal with:
A: All About Me; B: Business; C: Casual; D: Deer in Headlights
"A and D are the ones you have to look out for. A's are obvious -- they're the ones who are demanding bottled water and a free snack box before the wheels go up.
But never underestimate a D. Your typical D passenger, the spacey novice, is the one who is going to open the overhead bin and gently spread his overcoat down the length of the whole compartment. The D will not hear the sighs of annoyance from the other passengers, because the D will have already unwrapped his smelly sandwich and plugged his headphones into your seat's jack.
Incorrect, Passenger D. That move is incorrect"
