He could wing this one in his sleep.

Loopy former JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater — who lost it aboard a taxiing plane at JFK this summer and deflated the craft’s emergency chute to flee — has been hired to judge a contest to find the most outrageous airplane tale. Fliers are urged to text their crazy stories to the Queens resident as part of a Mile High Text Club promotion for Toktumi, the company that makes Line2, a mobile app that allows in-flight texting, The Hollywood Reporter said yesterday.

Toktumi chief Peter Sisson called Slater “the perfect judge.”

“I realized that — despite his dramatic approach, which he regrets — he was making a statement about the need to return to civility,” Sisson said.
