>> the employee told The Post. “He was violent, abusive and aggressive.”
The guy needs to chill and disconnect for a while.
LORD of the DOUCHE.
***Everybody is the same. Everyone has to follow the rules, it doesn’t matter who you are***
Actually, that’s not quite correct. American Airlines - meet Baraq Hussein Obama...
Hollywood scum. Not worth a damn in the real world.
Hollywood 1%er attacks 99%ers.
Again.
Good for them! I’m so tired of seeing companies enabling clowns like this because they’re afraid to get into a slanging match with someone “important”. Way to call the jerk out AA, bravo!
And shouldn’t he be arrested for this sort of behavior?
Yeah, maybe the rules about electronics are somewhat arbitrary. There are no technical reasons why you can't use an approved electronic device while waiting in line for departure. However, there are very good human-factors reasons not to make this the norm.
Basically it comes down to jerks like Baldwin. First, there are technical/safety reasons not to risk interference during critical, dynamic transitions for the aircraft (landing & takeoff). The rather arbitrary "door closed, electronics off" rule is in place because it is an easily identifiable event for passengers and crew. If you wait until you're crossing the line onto the active before saying "shut down for departure"... It is a virtual certainty there will be jerks like Baldwin on board that just have to finish their call, their game, whatever. Their life, their little world, is more important than anything some airline employee is trying to tell them...
I have been on flights that are going to be significantly delayed in a "parking lot" on the ramp waiting for a departure slot. The pilots have announced it is ok to use cell phones to call anyone meeting you at the destination and warn them we're xx minutes behind. Then they gave us ample warning that we were getting ready to go. Those were great examples of the crew taking care of their passengers, yet keeping everyone safe.
But when it comes to self-important jerks like Baldwin thinking the rules don't apply to them... I just want to wipe that smug smile right off his pudgy face with my fist.
He was bashing FR a couple weeks ago. Apparently, things have continued to unravel ever since.

In today’s world of flight, there is no reason why he wasn’t summarily arrested for a few felonies.
He must of had a lapse in memory and thought he was speaking to his daughter or ex wife

When he’s appeared on B’way, fellow actors have been witness to his violent temper tantrums - usually directed at some object like an air conditioner or phone - which he proceeds to tear out of the wall.
What do Alec Baldwin and Charlie Sheen have in common????
Put him on the no-fly list for awhile to cool his ardor. If maturity was in as much supply as coke and bloated egos, we would have half as many infantile temper tantrums.
I doubt if they'd ask me FIVE times. He was given preferential treatment. He's special. He should be locked up for his excesses.
