Alec Baldwin kicked off an American flight…

18

It seems as if Alec Baldwin was kicked off an American flight today out of LAX because he was playing “Words With Friends” (I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he wasn’t following FAA regulations, of course). While the story itself is funny enough (not necessarily for him, but for us), his Tweets are even funnier:

I’m not going to lie, I kind of laughed at his description of American’s flight attendants — “where retired Catholic school gym teachers from 1950’s find jobs as flight attendants.” And I’m happy to hear the crew on the later flight was “smarter.”

Though it does make me wonder, how often was he asked to turn off his phone before they kicked him off?

    he's the one who looks like a gym teacher- the bloated balding type.

    other passengers reported he was actually on the phone making a call when he was asked to turn it off (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/alec_baldwin_thrown_off_flight_at_ikgro0tlAWEveH4IMoa4YK)

    Then his rants ....would have thrown him off to if I'd been the captain.
    Now his tweeding shows how simple minded he is...

    I thought this tweet from AA was interesting:

    @AlecBaldwin Mr. Baldwin, we are looking into this. Please DM us contact information.

    Oscar De La Hoya was on the flight and said that Baldwin became "a little angry" with the FAs. If a pro boxer thinks you're "angry," you're probably making a fool of yourself...

    Once again Alex, making Long Island proud...

    And guess what will be featuring in 30 Rock sooner or later...

    One passenger reported that they were taxiing and they had to return to the gate to offload him. I'm guess it was related to WWF, but not in the context he described it. He was probably playing WWF while they were taxiing, which is in clear violation of federal laws. Getting kicked off a flight couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

    How do you slam an airplane door hard??

    There are reports on the local news that eye witnesses are saying he was actually asked to leave the plane because he "slammed the bathroom door so hard" his behavior alarmed the Captain and that the incident was not related to his using his iPad.

    Very strange behavior of an old man.

    Somebody got lucky when their last minute upgrade cleared!

    I told him (tweeted) that he should have gone all DYKWIA on them, telling them that he was Juan Trippe.

  14. Colleen Guest

    oops. forgot. DYKWIA????

    rules only apply to the little people.
