Steven Slater made his longtime dream of quitting his job a reality, but now he wants to work for airlines again.
Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater isn't ready to completely slide away from the airline industry.
Slater's lawyer said Thursday the now infamous steward wants to get back in the air.
"Steven's hope is to return to aviation," lawyer Howard Turman said. "That is his love."
Slater, 38, was initially hailed as a working man's hero after he told off a passenger over the intercom, grabbed a pair of beers and jumped down the emergency chute at Kennedy Airport Monday.
But some passengers say the 38-year-old attendant acted out during Flight 1052.
Jet Blue suspended Slater, who is facing trespassing and other charges, pending a review.

Sure hire him back. Give him a job repacking escape slide packs
This guy doesn't need to be around aviation. He is a hazard to himself and others. If that slide had injured a ramp worker when it deployed, would everyone still be cheering him on?

Its kind of crazy, funny and obscure, to see how much support the guy got by quitting and radically giving up.
A threshold that many of us at one time or another have contemplated crossing. (Just by dealing with our companies alone) not to mention, FED's, PAX, ETC.
But now he's to to go back to work?
Cheers

I think the thing he forgot was F/As are now licensed by the FAA. Hopefully, his was suspended. He violated several FARs the primary one being he left the jet while passengers were still aboard.
No license, no F/A job anywhere. Hope the Feds make it stick.
