JetBlue Flight Attendant Blows a Gasket.

Flight attendant curses out passengers, slides down emergency chute | NWCN.com | NWCN - News

 Frankly I am not surprised that a flight attendant finally had enough. These folks routinely get abused by fed up passengers suffering from delayed flights, too small aircraft, ineffective luggage policies and frankly...militant (harassed) flight attendants.  And this is all after having run the TSA gauntlet just to get to these problems. 

I'm surprised fisticuffs were not involved.  At least the guy exited with a little flair.  Using the emergency exit was a guaranteed loss of job plus FAA and legal complications...but hey...the guy got home early. 

This is all dandruff falling from the heads of airline and government management of today's airline market. 

Green Packing Materials

Packing materials used in both freight and express parcel movement are both expensive to produce and eat lots of petro resources.  Not exactly green materials.   

ZDNet has a great video on some new developments in creating biodegradable packaging for ecommerce uses as well as some interesting information on how bio materials are making their way into plastics used in everyday items up to and including automobiles.
