An Air France flight attendant who made around $61,000 a year stole thousands from flight passengers while they fell asleep on long flights, usually from Paris to the Far East. “Lucie R.” is married with children and owned a sports car and above-average apartments near the airports she worked at. She would make sure to target passengers who ate a lot and/or got drunk. On one particular flught, Lucie R. stole £3,700 from five passengers; £3,700 works out to about $5,730! It’s hard to tell from the news report if that is £3,700 each or combined. Either way, that’s messed up.

I love love love this story. Everyone who hates their job wishes they could do this. Steven Slater popped the emergency slide of his JetBlue airplane, grabbed his bags and a beer and slid right out of the airplane after an asshole passenger told him to “fuck off”. Apparently, the passenger couldn’t wait until the plane had stopped to get their bag. Before sliding out with his cool beverage, Slater hopped on the airplane’s PA system and shouted:
To the fucking asshole that told me to ‘fuck off’, it’s been a good 28 years!”
Some of the flight crew tried to stop him, but no one could! Destined to go out in a blaze of glory. Can we get this dude on David Letterman?

So imagine you need to take a flight, you arrive at the airport, check your luggage, make your way to the gate and board the plane. Once seated, your friend looks out the window and sees the baggage handlers throwing your luggage around like footballs. Upsetting, am I right?
