Well good news for Alec is that the airline might not be around long. They just recently filed for bankruptcy. Anyway those flight attendants can be jerks for sure. Oh this is the airline that supports Oprah. I find that funny that some of you are siding with the airline. You all must love Oprah. lol.
I’m anti Alex Baldwin. Period.
Siding with the airline is not the whole issue here. He refused to follow the flight instructions given by ALL airlines in preparation for departure. We all have to turn off cell phones and laptops, other electronic devices until airborne. That is the issue, not the airlines picking on poor Alec Baldwin. He is a jerk for not following the request of the stewardesses/stewards. This is always temporary, until the flight is at the proper altitude once they have taken off. Why should he think that the rules are not for him? I don’t love Oprah, but I get irritated by those who delay flight departures and cause trouble because they don’t want to follow the rules, making problems for the rest of us. He is a jerk, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with the airlines, as it could’ve been any of them. It is his behavior, and it wouldn’t have been tolerated on any of them. At least AA didn’t try to coddle him. Give them credit for that!
One of the best Airlines around, IMO.
I'll bet a lot of AA crew are FReepers.

American Airlines was VERY good to me when I screwed up.
AA’s going to be around for the duration. They filed in order to bust the contracts they have with the unions. They were the only airline after 9/11 NOT to declare. The others already dealt with their per flight personnel costs.
I read somewhere that AA pays about $600 more per flight than their competitors on labor. It adds up.
They just placed a record order with Boeing last month. Massive order.
