NEW YORK — JetBlue Airways says there will be no second exits for famed flight attendant Steven Slater — who captured the nation’s imagination with his profanity-laced loudspeaker tirade and jump down a plane’s emergency chute, beer in hand.
Spokeswoman Jenny Dervin said Saturday that Slater is no longer employed by the airline. She said the airline won’t release further details out of respect for Slater’s privacy.
Slater’s attorney had said he wanted to return to work. The former flight attendant still has to navigate the criminal justice system. He’s been charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing; his attorney has said a passenger’s “lack of civility” spurred his behavior.
