Alec Baldwin Calls Flight Attendants “Retired Catholic School Gym Teachers From The 50s”
RumorFix ^ | December 6, 2011

Posted on 12/06/2011 6:55:36 PM PST by maggief

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!

Hannity had Alec Baldwin’s brother on last night. I could not look at him fairly without being predjudiced by my dislike for Alec.

He was hawking some movie in which he plays a man who complains about Christmas decorations because of separation of church and state, etc. It is just not something I would want to see.

Just like a Baldwin is not someone I would want to see.

If they're retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 50's, they'd have to be around 80 years old.

Alec Baldwin is insane. Just when you think he couldn't be a bigger a$$hole, he outdoes himself. If I were a passenger and he caused me a delay over his behavior, he'd get a size 12 boot enema.

Exactly.... No gym classes in Catholic schools in the 50’s or 70’s. Is he anti-catholic too?

Unlucky, or just obstinate and obstreperous. If folks around were tweeting, one wonders why the focus on him and his hand held word game.

He’s a somewhat decent actor.....but a rotten human being.

I didn’t like seeing him play Jimmy Doolittle in “Pearl Harbor.”

Maybe he should call each of them tomorrow and tell them they are fat little pigs.

The proper response to his behavior would be to chuck him out the door after the flight began. Thanks maggief.
