I know, but it is your story and not his :)— August 11, 2010 5:05 p.m.

That's not good. Not good at all. You should contact the UT or Mr. Blair directly and ask that he credit your blog in his next column (and not just a correction). I was so excited when I read that this morning because I thought - Hey, I know that pig!! Now I am disappointed that credit was not given where due.— August 11, 2010 4:30 p.m.

I hope not. And I really hope his fellow employees speak in his defense, and not be under some gag order from JetBlue.— August 11, 2010 4:24 p.m.

I know, huh? Can you see RFG, taco in hand, flying sideways to miss the bullet and then applying the kung-fu kick to the would-be assassin?— August 11, 2010 9:58 a.m.

Thanks, nan! I'm not sure what they can do with these entitled jerks. It's just so rampant. I think after this incident airlines are going to crack down on unruly passengers. At least I hope so. How much you want to bet that woman on the plane who verbally abused Mr. Slater sues the airline? It's those types that love publicity, be it good, bad or otherwise. Mr. Slater should sue her in a civil suit for injuring him - that would teach her a lesson!! Hit 'em where it hurts.— August 11, 2010 9:28 a.m.

I love this guy! I think I am going to get a free Steven tee-shirt. Anti, I fear not so much for this generation currently in college and high school, but for the people that employ them. There is no fear of repercussion. When we were kids, one look from my mom shut me up if I was out of line. Now, you cannot discipline kids in school because the parents become unglued, and you cannot fire employees for bad behavior because they will sue. I love that line from George Carlin and I have used it before but this is a good example of what we are talking about so I will borrow it again. "It's okay, little Johnny. You're not a loser. You're the last winner." This is what these kids have heard their whole lives.— August 11, 2010 7:39 a.m.

Parker, I don't think he was unstable. I think he had just had enough. When you are in a position of authority and you have what equates to a mutiny on your hands every day, and you are not allowed to act on that authority because your employer tells you the customer is always right, one could justifiably lose their composure. It is called accountability without responsibility, and it is what makes many employees simmer on a daily basis.— August 11, 2010 7:28 a.m.
