WATCH: Steven Slater Dreams Of Being A Fashion Designer

Little did Steven Slater know that when he made his inspiring and angry exit from a Jet Blue airplane, he would become an instant celebrity. But hat do you do after the entire world has seen you lose your cool at the workplace? Something like that kinda limits your future employment opportunities.

Cynthia Niethamer, Slater’s ex wife, believes her former husband most likely would want his job at Jet Blue back. But since that seems pretty unlikely at this point, she does have an idea of what this “dramatic fellow” would do should he not be reinstated.

“He’d love his own fashion line. He’s a brilliant merchandiser. Actually, we met working at JC Penney when we were 16. He’s absolutely stellar at it. I think that would be a dream.”

Steven Slater the fashion designer? Does someone smell a contestant on the next season of Project Runway? We have a feeling Tim Gunn could be just the man to help curb the attendant’s hot temper. And if not, his Auf Wiedersehen would undoubtedly be entertaining.
