NEW YORK -- A JetBlue flight attendant got into an argument with a passenger on a jetliner arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday, cursed the passenger, grabbed a beer from the galley and then deployed an emergency exit slide and fled the plane, authorities said.

Flight attendant Steven Slater was arrested at his nearby home in the Belle Harbor section of Queens by Port Authority of New York And New Jersey police on charges of criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing.

Slater, 39, remained in custody Monday night. His attorney's name wasn't immediately available, and there was no home telephone number listed for him. A woman who answered a phone at a previous residence listed for Slater in Thousand Oaks, Calif., identified herself as his mother but said she wasn't speaking to the media.

JetBlue Airways Corp. said in a statement that it was working with the Federal Aviation Administration and Port Authority police to investigate the matter. It said the safety of its customers and crew members was never at risk.

Slater was working on JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh when he got into an argument with the passenger, who was pulling down baggage from an overhead bin, the Port Authority said. The luggage apparently struck the attendant in the head and he asked for an apology, but the passenger refused, the agency said.

As the plane was landing, Slater got on the public-address system and cussed at the passenger, the Port Authority said. He then grabbed at least one beer, activated the slide, slid down and went to his car, it said.

Port Authority police were notified about 25 minutes later.

JetBlue would not say how long Slater had been employed by the company.

By Monday night, several Facebook pages had been set up in tribute to Slater, with many users of the social networking site expressing support for him for walking off the job.

.Cranky Flight Attendant Was Banging His Boyfriend When the Cops Showed Up (Updated)
The tale of Steven Slater—the JetBlue flight attendant who became a folk hero by storming off the job on an inflatable slide—keeps getting better. Gay sex, happy bragging, family tragedy, HIV status, and a confused ex-wife ahead. [Updated]

Yesterday we heard how the disgruntled flight attendant's altercation with a passenger (which was related to a suitcase and/or overhead bin bonking Slater on the head) culminated in him announcing over the plane intercom, "To the fucking asshole who told me to fuck off, it's been a good 28 years. I've had it. That's it," then grabbed two beers from the galley, activated the jet's inflatable slide, and bolted off the job. The content of Slater's rant remains in dispute: Some say he called the passenger a "motherfucker" instead of an "asshole," and others dispute who told whom to "fuck off." (And although he seemed to suggest he'd been working as a flight attendant for 28 years, he started working for the airlines 20 years ago.)

Either way, the word "fuck" occurred twice, and the act of fucking occurred once: As soon as the surly steward arrived at his beachfront home in the Rockaways, he jumped into bed with his boyfriend, and was mid-coitus when the police arrived to arrest him for reckless endangerment and trespassing. The New York Daily News reports the scene of the arrest:

He boasted to skeptical cops that he really did escape by chute with his carry-on luggage.
"Oh, yes, I did! I threw them down first and I went down after," he told cops, sources said.
He was grinning as police walked him in handcuffs to a squad car. "He left with a big smile on his face," said neighbor Curt Karkowski.
The New York Post adds that Slater told authorities he was HIV-positive. During his arrest Slater was photographed in a sage green t-shirt and madras shorts. Many outlets have noted that Slater's MySpace profile (which we raided yesterday) testifies to a history of "alcoholism and substance abuse." Did a life crisis predicate the haughty high-flier's mid-tarmac meltdown? We return to the Daily News:

"Slater's mother is dying," said Judy Rochelle, whose son Kenny lives with Slater. "She has lung cancer. She's had two chemos and the prognosis is not good. They were on their way out to California this weekend to settle her affairs."
Rochelle added that Slater "watched his father die of Lou Gehrig's disease not long ago. Slater's under a lot of pressure."
Judy's son Kenny appears to be the boyfriend that Slater was hooking up with when the cops showed. Kenny's brother John describes Slater as "an everyday ordinary guy, a nice guy."

Meanwhile, an interview with Slater's ex-wife and "great friend" Cynthia Susanne is interesting primarily for the revelation that Slater was once married. (Leave it to the "nice guy" to marry his fag hag.)

What happens next to our dramatic folk hero? The Queens district attorney is moving ahead with criminal charges, which could be punishable with as many as seven years in jail, which would be a major bummer, since he's now an anointed hero of the recession's overworked underclass. Steven Slater as yet to break his silence. [NYDN, TMZ, NYPost, Slate]

Update: According to his Legal Aid lawyer, Slater remains in police custody after failing to post a $2500 bail. Charged with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and criminal trespass, "I think he can't believe the amount of attention he's getting," lawyer Howard Turman said. "People who deal with the public face stress." Turman told reporters that Slater's altercation included a female passenger who "slammed the overhead" bin into Slater's head, and Times' City Room blog located a passenger who confirms that the flight attendant had a 1.5" red gash on his forehead. And why did Slater use the inflatable slide? "It was there," said Turman.

The JetBlue flight attendant who flipped out after his plane landed at JFK and then escaped using the emergency chute is a self-professed "bag Nazi" who was furious over a passenger's oversized luggage, authorities said yesterday.

"I hate to be a bag Nazi when I work a flight, but I feel if I am not, then I am letting down all those who cooperate and try to help out as well," fussy flight attendant Steven Slater wrote several months ago on Airliners.net, an aviation Web site on which he uses the handle "skyliner747."



But the 38-year-old wing nut appeared to be much more tolerant of people last night.



After he was sprung from a Bronx prison barge, the livery cabby he had hired to drive him away suddenly freaked out amid the media circus and dumped him back out on the sidewalk -- but Slater took it in stride.


"It was attention he wasn't prepared to deal with," a smiling Slater said of the cabby as he stood back behind the gates of the lockup to wait as guards called him another car around 10 p.m.

Several hours earlier, Slater had pleaded not guilty to reckless endangerment in Queens Criminal Court for his Monday shenanigans, and was finally sprung on $2,500 bail at 9:30 p.m.

When he got into a silver livery van outside the jail's gates, two producers from ABC's "Good Morning America" hopped in, too. But they were let off a block away, saying Slater had kicked them out.

The jittery driver then took off -- only to return to the gates within minutes to dump Slater.

Asked jokingly if he had forgotten something, Slater quipped, "My dignity.

"The food was just too good," he added with a smile. "I'm tired. I want a hot bath and a good meal."

Slater, a sudden Internet sensation, said he "greatly appreciated" the support he has received.

"I think some things about this resonated with people," Slater added, referring to the fact that he essentially told his employers to take their job and shove it after his tussle with a rude passenger over her large amount of baggage.

An admirer put a poster on his Slater's home in Belle Harbor, Queens, declaring, "Steve Hero!"

Asked about his plans, Slater cryptically said, "I have some things lined up," adding that he was looking forward to "a little down time, a little beach time, enjoying the rest of the summer."

The bizarre jailhouse drama occurred as a clearer account emerged of the JetBlue incident, which began with two women arguing over overhead space as Flight 1052 sat on a Pittsburgh tarmac, according to Slater's lawyer, Howard Turman.

One of the women had two bags, one of which was too large to fit -- which is Slater's pet peeve. He told her it would have to be checked, Turman said.

She then flipped out and began cursing at Slater -- at one point slamming the overhead bin door down on his head, Turman added.

The woman's bag was ultimately checked, and she remained unapologetic, sources said.

Once the jet arrived at JFK, the same passenger agitated Slater by trying to take her other, smaller bag down before the pilot gave the OK for passengers to stand.

When Slater confronted her, she cursed at him and everyone else, demanding to get her checked bag back immediately, Turman said.

That's when Slater let loose.

"I got on the microphone and said, 'To those who have shown dignity and respect these last 20 years, thanks for a great ride,' " Slater said, according to the court complaint.

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.

Turman insisted his client didn't curse or get physical.

Slater makes clear in his Web rants his hatred for fliers who don't follow baggage limits.

"I am not blaming the passengers in any way for my compensation shortfalls. I am frustrated with many of them for their unrealistic approach regarding carry-ons," he wrote.

His mom, Diane, defended her son, saying, "he was injured by the passenger," who left him an "egg on his head where he got smacked."
