It seems that not everyone was impressed by the recent antics of airline steward Steven Slater. In an internal company memo, a Jet Blue executive writes “There is no excuse for endangering Crewmembers and Customers in response to a challenging service situation. Intentionally arming and deploying an evacuation slide for anything other than the express purpose of protecting the safety of our Crew and Customers is unacceptable.”
The memo adds, “Slides can be as dangerous as a gun … It is an insult to all aviation professionals to have this particular element of the story treated without the seriousness it deserves.”
