The madcap adventures of Steven Slater are not entirely over yet. The JetBlue flight attendant -- who has made headlines around the world (in addition to spawning a Jimmy Fallon parody) for his obscenity-laden rant and subsequent departure from a flight -- is the topic of TV shows everywhere.
A local Fox affiliate in California caught up with Slater's family and ex-wife, and all of them had one thing to say -- they supported him for going ballistic. Why? They claim that he was acting just fine considering the abuse he was taken on.
Since the situation unfolded, a number of organizations have pledged their support of Slater, who worked with JetBlue for over twenty years before this mishap. Some people who talked with Fox actually believed that the passengers from the flight should be facing the same sort of consequences as him.
JetBlue has responded to the incident with its own action -- giving $100 vouchers to everyone on the flight.
What do you think of this guy the more you hear of his story?
