Baldwin vs American Attendant


What: American Airlines flight
Where: LAX
When: Dec 6 2011
Who: Alex Baldwin
Why: Refusing to stop playing the game “words with friends,” Alex Baldwin was ejected from an American Airlines flight by an irate flight attendant. It was waiting at the gate (not in the air.)

He was rebooked on another flight, but not without attempting twitter revenge, badmouthing American Airlines, and also filing a complaint against a flight attendant who was like a “retired Catholic school gym teacher from the 1950’s.”

Baldwin is not the only individual we heard about this week who was removed from a plane due to conduct, but the others were taken to a mental unit or released into police custody.

    What: Airlines Boeing 757-200 en route from San Juan Puerto Rico to Miami,FL
    Where: San Juan
    When: Mar 1st 2011
    Why: After takeoff, the side panels in the cabin began to quiver, and passenger windows were cracking. The crew returned to San Juan and the plane made a safe landing.

    You know, when I’m on plane with a twenty-one year old frame and the interior walls start moving, and the windows are cracking (separate issues, by the way), I can’t help but worry about things like frame fatigue. 21 years worth of stress is plenty of years for a plane. I’m glad the flight made it down safely. Maybe it is time for American to let this bird roost.
