Like a lot of pubs out there, we commented on the Stewardess melt-down today.  Unlike us, we’re going to say a little more.

Just how messed up are we that this guy is a “hero?”  With the economy faltering again and certain increased unemployment numbers for months, maybe longer, how is it that our new “Taxi Driver” is a flight attendant on a domestic airline?

Are people applauding that this guy “lost it” and – or that he did something?  What is it that he did that is helping anyone get a better shake at work?  Do you really think that employers are all hiding under their tables right now shuttering in fear of you leaving them?  Go!  It saves them money that they don’t have anyway.

We just learned of 8 humanitarian workers slain in Afghanistan – reminiscent of the rape and murder of nuns in El Salvador a few decades ago – and suddenly a maladjusted and pompous flight attendant is front and center in the news and in people’s blogs?  (except jetBlue’s – couldn’t find anything)

This guy didn’t save any lives, freaked out many airline passengers, made other jetBlue employees look especially stupid and made us all rethink TSA – are these people really guarding something?  They let the nut head flight attendant get through, didn’t they?

Air travel is worse for everyone because there are fewer flights, so more people have to adjust to less convenience, that’s not fun, then they get stuck in their own worlds on a plane and don’t process instructions, or they’re assholes and don’t care, then do stupid things, and then flight attendants, in this case Joan of Ark, scold them and when they make poopy in their pants, they shake their fists, cuss at people, steal beers and take the quick way out.

Or, did he?

Was it a ploy because he’s a loser and had nothing else?

Is he just another hick couple with a child “floating away in a balloon?”
