Angry passenger leaves plane on emergency slide

A first-class passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight became so angry that a passenger in coach was going to exit the aircraft before him on arrival into Georgetown, Guyana that he decided to pop open an emergency exit and ride the evacuation chute ride off the plane on to the ramp below. Local police told the Associated Press that the man, who arrived from New York, appeared to be intoxicated and was arrested shortly after the stunt. Delta reps claim they will be filing charges against the man for interfering with flight crew members. Judging by Delta's schedule, I'm figuring the man got a free ride down the slide of a Boeing 757. (sarcasm)Good for that man. He's way more important then the cretins back in cattle class(/sarcasm).

I'm not saying this guy was justified in his actions, but he had a right to object. What does paying 5-10 times the cost of a coach ticket buy you other than extra leg room and nicer food? First on, first off....

Well, gosh, I guess that first class passenger (who'd swilled a lot of free drinks) figured someone's dying mother or almost missed connection or other emergency didn't warrent getting ahead of HIM, the very important first class passenger. He thought he preserve his right to be first off by taking a fast way down and "he'd just show them"! What a cretin!
