The cost to replace the emergency escape slide is in excess of $25,000, according to Jet Blue security."

...as far as trespassing I'm not sure but maybe...just maybe running across the tarmac and going through doors and/or outside gates that he wasn't supposed to ?

Don't get me wrong...his reaction was "funny" to a certain extent and dealing with the public can be a pain in the azz for the service industry but that was his job and if didn't like it...just fvckin' quit !! He doesn't really need to go to jail imho but prosecuted and put on probation and fined...yep he does. We can't have mofo's reacting this way just because they have a bad day and if we make a hero out of him I wonder how many other people will think humm...I just found my get rich quick scheme...freak out...do something crazy and I get a book deal and maybe a reality show or a movie...yippee !!! Fvck that.

Yea it may already be happening but we sure don't have to help it happen.
He said he checked before he deployed the chute for anyone who might have been standing around. It's no harder than looking both ways before you cross the street. As for tresspassing and the price to replace the chute, why not let Jet Blue decide whether to sue him? I'm tired of the federal government poking its nose into anything involving aviation.

Ummmm.....it's PRECISELY because the federal government gave in and de-regulated the airline industry that it's in the absolute shit shape that it is right now.

Not enough crews/equipment to properly handle the load? Thank deregulation. An inefficient and easy to "corner the market and thereby keep prices high" hub and spoke domestic system? Thank deregulation.

If you had any sense at all, you'd be PRAYING for the federal government to re-regulate that industry. Unless you just like getting ripped off and receiving shit service?

He's also said a few other things that several witnesses are disputing and I didn't mention anything about the federal government or Jet Blue. I just stated how he probably got charged with trespassing and endangerment.

I can walk outside right now and shoot my Glock in the middle of the street but look around first to make sure I won't hit anyone and swear that I didn't endanger anyone either but I bet most everyone else will view it differently and I won't be having a good weekend. The guy doesn't need to go to jail imho but he DOES need to be charged/fined/fired and put on probation. Oh he sure was funny and entertaining but he also acted like a dumbazz and if you choose to play then prepare to pay...he knew the rules before he decided to act like little b!tch.

Anyone know how Slater was able to exit the plane so quickly?

He apparently already had his shit packed.

If he was at a bar they would have asked if they could push his stool in.
