Brilliant... someone's getting fired.
Goes to show that the dumbest people you'll ever meet will be found in planes and airports.

A melt-down over a passenger getting up to retrieve their belongings before the aircraft reaches the gate??? I'm glad this FA doesn't work in Asia, Africa or the Middle East.

Grabbing a beer and sliding away from a career does seem like a decent way to depart (as far as loony insane goodbyes go) but I'd of probably punched out the #@$ that dropped the bag on my head for good measure - just to make sure the job termination was permanent.
It's sad but amusing. Someone will end up getting anger management classes and quite a few hours of community service. Perhaps they'll eventually find a true calling.

Just caught the tail end of a story on CNN & the NYC police commissioner was laughing about this.
CNN was getting some big laughs on Morning Express earlier.

I guess the FA picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.
