Ok, so heres my take. I worked for an airline. employee's at airlines are treated like TRASH!!!! I spoke to 4 friends of mine who work for US Airways and United. they ALL say he is a HERO. He shouldn't be prosecuted or serve jail time. flight attendants are treated so poorly, it's no wonder he snapped.

Back in the day, people dressed up to fly. they treated the (then) stewardess's with respect. talk to any F.A. now and they will tell you how poorly they are treated. I worked in reservations and it's amazing how "entitled" people feel they should be and how "we" as airline employee's are beneath them.

I applaud him. As of now he isn't even fired, he was arrested, arraigned and released on $2,500 bail. there is a website raising money for his defense and he has over 116,000 fans on facebook, yesterday morning he had 400.

If people who serve us were treated better, this sort of thing would never happen.

He took care of his father with ALS while he was dying and is now in charge of his mother who is terminal with cancer. I sure hope they don't send the guy to jail, who would take care of her. On The Today Show this morning the show's expert legal analyst said he doubted he will do any jail time. Jet Blue will likely strike a deal. I also read that for years before this his employee file was filled with accomidations and praise.
