"The whole experience of flying is now totally abusive, authoritarian and dysfunctional. It is guaranteed to bring out the worst in everyone ..."

This above quote is from a commenter at the New York Post in response to the JetBlue flight attendant who "snapped" on a flight:

But police sources said he also used the public-address system to lash out at the "the f - - king asshole that told me to f - - k off!"

Then Slater grabbed his own two bags, swiped some beer, activated the inflatable emergency chute, slid down, headed to the parking lot and drove home in his Jeep Wrangler. He was later arrested there as his boyfriend looked on.

I agree with the commenter at the Post who said that flying is a frustrating experience. You feel like you leave your autonomy and rights at the door and I suspect some passengers react with more frustration than usual when they are asked to give up their freedom to engage in normal acts such as getting their luggage and being herded like cattle onto a plane. However, abusing the flight attendant doesn't seem like a good way to vent that frustration. What is your take?
