Cabin pressure proved too much to bear for a flight attendant when he reacted to an argument with a passenger yesterday by swearing at the offending customer, activating the emergency exit slide, and disembarking on to the tarmac at John F Kennedy international airport with a beer in hand.

Steven Slater was arrested yesterday at his home in Queens, New York, on charges of criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing.

The 39-year-old was working on JetBlue flight 1052 from Pittsburgh when he got into an argument with the passenger, who was pulling down baggage from an overhead bin as the plane came in to land, the Port Authority said.

The luggage apparently struck the attendant in the head and Slater asked for an apology but the passenger refused, the agency said.

As the plane was landing, Slater went on to the public address system and swore at the passenger, the authority said. He then grabbed at least one beer, activated the slide, slid down and went to his car.

The New York Times quoted a police officer who said: "Mr Slater asked for an apology. The passenger instead cursed at him. Mr Slater got on the plane's public address system and cursed out the passenger for all to hear. Then, after declaring that 20 years in the airline industry was enough, he blurted out, 'It's been great!' He activated the inflatable evacuation slide at a service exit and left the world of flight attending behind."

Port Authority police were notified. An eyewitness told the New York Times that police swarmed around Slater's house and he was eventually brought out with a smile on his face.

JetBlue Airways said that it was working with the Federal Aviation Administration and Port Authority police to investigate the matter. "At no time was the security or safety of our customers or crew members at risk," the company said.

An officer said that the lowering of the emergency chute without warning could have injured or killed someone. But Slater has been championed in some quarters for his actions, with many workers in jobs that deal with the public empathising with him. A Facebook page has been set up by admirers and "Free Steven Slater" T-shirts are on sale.

According to Slater's MySpace page, his first job was with SkyWest airlines, in 1990, and he worked for another three airlines before joining JetBlue. On MySpace, he said he was "back flying after five years off the job and having a ball". Slater was on the airline's "inflight values committee", according to his online profile on Linkedin, which said he began work at JetBlue in January 2008.

Neighbours in California, where Slater grew up, said he had recently been caring for his dying mother, a retired flight attendant, and had done the same for his father, a pilot.
