Slater is currently on leave from his job with JetBlue -- so far, no word if he plans on returning.

I am watching HLN/Showbiz Tonight and I am amazed how you, the media, are treating the jet blus flight attendant like some kind of hero or celebrity. Just to put things in prospective, try reporting on this:
