It has been a long time since flight attendant was a glamorous job title. The hours are long. Passengers with feelings of entitlement bump up against new no-frills policies. Babies scream.

I loved this story. It caused me to laugh out loud!!

That's why 'most' pilots like to be a freight dog instead of cattle driver

Anyways, he's out of jail

I thought we were called "self-loading-cargo"...

Anyways, he's out of jail

... after posting a bail of $2,500

Meanwhile he got 30,000 new fans on Facebook

BTW onboard cattle misbehavior must result in a worldwide Airline(s) 'boarding' ban

I can see it now.....

The new onboard safety demonstration..... The EXITs are Here, Here, and Here, now grab a beer

2'500$ for the bail. Then 25'000$ on top of that for the slide. Not to mention the indirect costs to JetBlue for the AOG.

That's an expensive beer !

And after all the story might be based on a big lie... Time will tell !
