Steven Slater is easily the most fabulous, but not the first disgruntled New Yorker to make a celeb of himself by going hatstand on the job. Sixty three years ago, there was William Cimillo.

Just three days after Broadsheet Hero Of The Workplace and (now ex) JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater’s fabulous onboard meltdown at JFK, the internets continue to wax batshit for the story. A campaign website has appeared.

Sir, we salute you.
