We are willing to wager that somehow this will find it’s way into an episode of 30 Rock.
Actor Alec Baldwin was removed from an American Airlines flight at LAX Tuesday after he failed to turn off an electronic device while the plane was still on the ground — and lashed out at the flight attendants on Twitter.
His incident lit up the Twittersphere, with both the actor’s side of the story and those of passengers.
“On an AA flight at LAX. Alec Baldwin removed from the plane We had to go back to the gate. Terrible that everyone had to wait” tweeted passenger Michael J. Wolf.
But Baldwin’s side of the story is that he was the victim of overzealous flight attendants. Baldwin tweeted during the incident “Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving.” Apparently the reaming escalated to the point where the actor was kicked off the flight.
He seemed to have learned his lesson – or at least had more lenient flight attendants on his next go round. “Now on the 3 o’clock American flight. The flight attendants already look…..smarter” he tweeted. But he’s still mad at the airline and says this is his final flight on American with the swipe “Last flight w American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950′s find jobs as flight attendants.”
We have calls in to American Airlines and are waiting to hear their side of the story. They are aware of the incident. Stay tuned!
