This is classic.
We all know what work stress is like but for some it occasionally reaches a boiling point. Personally, I think they should give this guy a break.
From NBC New York...
The argument began when one of the 100 passengers on the flight, got up early to get her luggage from an overhead compartment, according to sources. Slater {the flight attendant} told the passenger to sit back down -- but, as he approached, the woman continued to pull her belongings down and struck him in the head with her bag, authorities said.
Slater asked for an apology but the woman cursed him out. Then Slater got on the flight's announcement system and allegedly cursed out everyone on the plane, took some beers from the galley, pulled the emergency chute and slid off the Embraer 190 plane. According to police sources, he threw his luggage down first and said something to the effect of "there goes 28 years," before he took the plunge.
After getting down the slide, Slater took off into the terminal.
Add "going airline" to the lexicon right beside "going postal." Next time, maybe he should try this instead...

You missed the last bit: Slater was later arrested at his home in Belle Harbor, Queens by Port Authority officials. He was found by police in a sexual embrace with his partner, sources said.
