It looks like Steven Slater won’t spend any time in jail for his abrupt, anger-filled resignation from the world of flight attending.
The man who briefly rose to fame for telling passengers on a JetBlue airline to take his job and shove it appeared in a NYC court today. Facing up to seven years in prison, TMZ reports Slater agreed to a round of mental health treatment in exchange for a lesser sentence.
Specifically, one without any prison time.
The district attorney and Slater’s attorney, Daniel Horwitz, agreed to meet and try to negotiate a the deal prior to the next court hearing.
If Slater is committed, that might affect his publicist’s plans to arrange a reality show for his client. Actually, who are we kidding? Mental health problems didn’t stop Heidi Montag from appearing for years on The Hills!
