After a tough flight and a run-in with a passenger, a Jet Blue flight attendent decides to change careers.

A flight attendant ran out of patience on a plane that just landed at JFK on Monday afternoon, so he allegedly cursed a blue streak over the p.a. system, grabbed some beers, pulled the emergency chute, slid down and ran from the plane, sources said.

What he will do now, after answering all the charges against him, is anybody's guess. I'm thinking something having to do with the theater.

UPDATE: According to the story: "

Slater was later arrested at his home in Belle Harbor by Port Authority officials. Police sources said that when authorities found Slater he seemed to be in the midst having sexual relations."

Nothing like sliding off the job and being pursued by cops to put one in the mood.
