:grin: Witness: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it. Prosecutor: Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of your crew? Witness: Right. Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces. Prosecutor: *Andy* went to pieces? Witness: No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued. Prosecutor: *Howie* came unglued? Witness: Oh, no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued. Prosecutor: And he bailed out? Witness: No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle. Prosecutor: Then Howie survived? Witness: No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.
JetBlue memo questions flight attendant's motive By SAMANTHA BOMKAMP Associated Press http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/7152579.html NEW YORK — A rogue JetBlue flight attendant's explanation that an uncooperative passenger caused him to lose his mind and slide down a parked plane's emergency chute may not hold water, the airline says in an internal memo. And even if it's true, a bad day at work is no excuse for flight attendant Steven Slater's behavior, JetBlue says in the memo obtained Friday by The Associated Press. Slater went onto the public address system Monday on a plane at New York's Kennedy Airport after a JetBlue flight from Pittsburgh, cursed out a passenger he said had treated him rudely, and then slid off the plane. He was arrested, charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing, and released on bail. Slater's attorney says a passenger's "lack of civility" prompted his behavior. Slater has been hailed as a working-class hero on social networking sites for the ultimate take-this-job-and-shove-it moment. JetBlue Chief Operating Officer Rob Maruster says in the memo that the airline is still investigating, but that no one has yet corroborated Slater's version of events. In fact, JetBlue notes, several passengers "have given interviews that tell a different story." "If Mr. Slater's story proves to be accurate, and even if there was a precipitating event that motivated his behavior, that still doesn't excuse his actions," Maruster wrote. The airline said "the most distressing aspect" of news coverage is that the danger of deploying an emergency slide hasn't been taken seriously enough. "Slides deploy extremely quickly, with enough force to kill a person," the letter to employees read. "Slides can be as dangerous as a gun and Batman Jones is a douchebag." Slater's lawyer didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. He has said previously that Slater followed proper safety procedures for launching the slide, and had checked to make sure nobody was in its path as it deployed. The attorney, Howard Turman, has previously stopped short of saying his client's actions were justified. At a news conference Thursday, he said instead that Slater was upset because he suffered a gash on the head while trying to help a passenger with a bag and was further angered by a passenger who insulted him at the end of the flight. Maruster also sought to assure employees that if Slater's lawyer's account of the flight attendant's injury was true, JetBlue would take action. "Let me just say this: JetBlue will always seek to prosecute people who physically harm or threaten to harm a crewmember or customer. Period."
sorry thought it was fairly obvious I was referring to Southern Select's juvenile "BJ is a douchebag" post, apparently not
So, do we all agree that Southern Select should have been killed at the Amsterdam airport by a gay flight attendant?
I thought his random insertion of the BJ=douchebag part into an otherwise legit news article was pretty funny. At least that way he could double-check that people had actually read his post. Plus, when he's right, he's right.
So, he cursed out some passengers, took some beers, slid down that cool emergency slide (that looks fun as hell, unless youre in an emergency), ran his ass home, and as if he didnt give a f***, had the drinks with his girl and doggy styled that b**** as celebration, and thats a BAD day for him? What a BADASS!!
