Steven Slater inspires flight attendants to dream of pulling a "JetBlue"

As the publicity over JetBlue steward Steven Slater's expletive-laden altercation with a traveler earlier this week continues to reach new heights, flight attendants are getting a rare chance to air their stories about abuse at the hands of passengers.

Slater, who told a traveler off over the public address system after an alleged disagreement upon landing at John F. Kennedy's International Airport on Monday -- and then left the plane via an emergency slide -- is receiving widespread support from fellow stewards.

"Dear Steven Slater," wrote the Flying Pinto. "Thank you for taking a stand. Thank you for fulfilling a fantasy I never even knew I had."
