A fed-up JetBlue flight crewmember exited his job in spectacular style after a passenger’s bag fell on his head when landing in New York.

Shouting expletives, 36-year-old Steven Slater (pictured) reportedly grabbed two cans of beer and exited the plane via the emergency slide.

A passenger had swore at him after their bag knocked Slater on the head, says the NY Daily News.

“I’ve had it. That’s it,” the over-it flight attendant reacted, flicking off his company tie and making a speedy getaway.

“He pulled the lever that activates the emergency-evacuation chute and slid down, making a dramatic exit not only from the plane but, one imagines, also from his airline career,” say eyewitnesses.

JetBlue reported the incident to police, who shortly afterwards arrested him at his home, where they found him in bed with his boyfriend.
