If you ask any American today that has a typical 8 hour job, they’ll probably tell you the same thing that’s mentioned in this video; a dollar just isn’t worth what it used to be.
And as long as we have to keep working harder for the same amount of money, incidents like the one with the “crazy” JetBlue flight attendant are bound to become more common.
Let’s face it, anyone who’s worked a minimum wage job has dreamed of doing what Steven Slater did on a weekly basis. As one of his neighbors states, his mom had cancer complications and was probably already stressed out.
In an industry where pilots are already underpaid, I’m actually surprised it took this long for something like this to happen. Flying today just isn’t as comfortable as it used to be 10 years ago.
