They mentioned on the news this morning that there was also the issue of maintenance/ground staff already being under and around the plane at the time he deployed the slide, which could have put them at risk for injury.
The story as of this morning was that a passenger had been up getting his luggage down from overhead while the plane was still in motion (which he should not have been doing). The flight attendant approached him to ask him to sit back down and the luggage ended up hitting him in the head (leaving the cut referred to in the linked story). The passenger refused to comply with the attendant's request, refused to apologize for causing the injury by not complying, and cursed out the attendant on top of it.
At which point, the attendant clearly decided that he was no longer interested in a career in customer service.
And I gotta say - there is no one in a customer service job who does not fantasize about doing something like this occasionally. |
