It’s not everyday that your ex jumps at the opportunity to tell the world what a nice guy you are. Then again, former JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater — who left the service industry this week with the help of an inflatable slide and a few beers — is anything but oridinary.
Cynthia Susanne, the former wife of the media sensation dropped by The TODAY Show on Thursday, where she described her ex-husband as a “gentleman” and added thatt the passenger that prompted him to unleash the wrath of hell on a flight of travelers going from Pittsburgh to New York City must have been a real “nightmare.”

Even The Association of Flight Attendants is lending their support to Slater following a dramatic and controversial departure from his job following a dispute with a rude passenger.
A rep for the AFA says:
“We want to advance the profession no matter what. Sometimes in order to do that we must help people who may not necessarily be members.”
