Yes, I know it makes a good story on first glance..poor, abused Cabin Crew member, beaten to the point he just couldn't take it anymore...
Unfortunately facts are proving this guy may have been just an abusive fool and his initial excuse for his outrageous behavior may be false.
In fact, Slater’s legal aide attorney, Howard Turman, told the media on Thursday Slater actually suffered the injury in Pittsburgh, before Flight 1052 even took off.
While I will agree that we all, regardless of our occupations, have at times thought "It would be amazing if I did this rather than listen to this "*!$" no Cabin Crew member should be expressing anything more than just "ewwww".
Mr. Slater may now, after sobering up, wish to have his wings back, but God help any passengers that were subjected to flying with him.
Time for a career change.
