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!
Here's the tweet:

If someone so resolutely imbecilic as Baldwin can earn big money, the jobless can take heart.
WTF? Oh, I forgot. This from the “Dad of the Year” and the leader of the “Democrats for Good Behavior”.
I would buy an AA ticket if they would have thrown that liberal loon off the plane..oh did I mention the flight being 30,000 feet in the air at the time.
A more appropriate response, rather than booting him off the plane, would be to shove his fat head out at about 35,000 feet. The EPA would be all over AA for dumping toxic waste, but I’d bet they’d win in court as justified.
Alex Baldwin tweeted how he will never fly on AA again ....just before he boarded another AA flight to NYC. Apparenly, he is not just a spoiled brat, he is a rather cheap one at that.
I supposed none of these tweets were from France where Alex promised he would be residing.
Im willing to bet more people will fly AA because of the fact he said he wont
I’ve tried to watch 30 rock, but every time I see his mug I have this uncontrollable urge to kick my tv.
ROFLOL...we didn’t even have “Gym” in my parochial school on LI until around 1967 when NY state mandated gym...then our science teacher got to teach football, hockey and softball too.
The last thing this as$hat did that was memorable was his role in the “Hunt for Red October” ... and I question that. Since then he has done nothing that would endear the public except make an ass of himself or a regular basis.
Hey, they just won my business for my next flight!
Douche nozzle.
His 5 minutes in Glen Gary Glen Ross was brilliant.....otherwise his career does not add up to much of anything.
He says they were not moving and at the gate...but all reports are the plane had to RETURN to the gate...he’s a spoiled liar.
Alec Assmunch. : )
Baldwin is such a brain trust.
He starts off offending flight attendants, and moves on to Retirees, Catholics, school employees, physical education teachers, teachers in general, and anyone from the 50s.
Can’t wait until he tries to fix the insults to all of them. I’m thinking his list of offended groups will exceed 100 by then.
“Retired Catholic School Gym Teachers From The 50s”
Is he insinuating that the flight attendants are old, ex-nun, butch lesbians?
Just sayin’
Did he call them “thoughtless little pigs?” Oh wait...he only calls his daughter that!
always with the class..
