A Jet Blue flight attendant just lived out everyone's fantasy way of
quitting a job.

From the New York Times:
A JetBlue flight attendant, apparently upset with an uncooperative
passenger on a just-landed flight, on Monday unleashed a
profanity-laden tirade on the public address system, pulled the
emergency-exit chute, slid off the plane and fled Kennedy International
Airport, a law enforcement official said...One passenger got out of his
seat to fetch his belongings from the overhead compartment before the
crew had given permission. Mr. Slater instructed the man to remain
seated. The passenger defied him. Mr. Slater approached and reached the
passenger just as he pulled down his luggage, which struck Mr. Slater
in the head.Mr. Slater asked for an apology. The passenger instead
cursed at him. Mr. Slater got on the plane’s public address system and
cursed out all aboard. Then he activated the inflatable evacuation
slide at service exit R1; launched himself off the plane, an Embraer
190; ran to the employee parking lot; and left the airport in a car he
had parked there.I can't stop living this out in my mind. The
evacuation slide is such a good touch.
