This could be a marketing coup for Jet Blue

Lots of media lionizing today of Steven Slater, the Jet Blue flight attendant (and drama queen?) who quit by cussing out a misbehaving passenger, grabbing a beer and disappearing down the emergency chute onto the tarmac at JFK. Best take I've seen is this tweet from @funnyordie:

Jet Blue should spin this into an annual contest where 1 lucky passenger gets to curse over the PA & exit on the yellow slide.

Slater lives in New York, where he was in court today on several charges, but is from Thousand Oaks.

Twitter quip: @Turkfontaine says, "it's sooo market exploitable. if only Southwest had thought of it back in the 'air-strip' days. exit via brass pole."
