AA is just SO FULL OF IT. With that "IT" being their little corporate "I don't have to follow the rules of social propriety" legal personhood selves.
Hot off the press... The AA dunderheads, apparently lacking discretion as far as the timing of public announcements is concerned, announced today that they will now allow its PILOTS in its airliners' COCKPITS (where probably 99.9% of all airliners' electronics are located) to have iPads onboard. ROFL !! man... just can't make this stuff up in this day&age of bigbiz corporate flakiness, eh? Jay Leno, have at it....... LOL
I really like Alec Baldwin, his acting is great and he's handsome and I just enjoy listening and watching him, it is really a shame he acts like this, it just seems such a small thing to ask while flying with your fellow passengers to respect the people around you for the sake of safety and not to mention if there were any babies or kids on that flight. He's an embarrassment to himself and his family, it's sad.
alex, you should have showed them your badge and then shot them. this is the only reasoning people understanding. are you not glad you didn't have children as as this is a messed up world. love ya man, i want your last girlfriend......steve talley of santa barbara
other passengers should have sided with the flight attendants and restrained baldwin, perhaps even kicking his behind a few times. baldwin, and other such celebs, will one day pick on the wrong person and end up getting his face rearranged or worse. or baldwin will one day find a crowd jumping his behind and siding with the object of his stupidity and beating baldwin to a pulp.
They kicked his no talent be hind of the plane and that's exactly what he deserved. He stated that he was not going to fly American Airlines again but what he's to dumb to understand is that no airline is going to allow him to have his electronic toys on while the plane is about to take off.
I don't care about celebrities, and this one appeared to have had a tantrum. However, I also don't for a minute buy that crap about interference from electronic devices on a plane. If it were true, they'd never let a computer or cel phone on a plane. It's mostly homage to the cel phone industry, because airborne cel phones can play hell with cel networks. People still do deliberately or accidentally leave them on. We don't crash. I've listened to hundreds of hours of fm radio, set speed records on my gps and even watched tv a couple of times pre digital on planes. No crashes. Arrived where we were supposed to. Biggest threat on the flight? Beer prices.
If you notice, electronic devices are prohibited from use only during take off and landing, the two most dangerous and vulnerable time periods for any flight and the time when the majority of disasters occur. The idea behind powering off and stowing all electronic devices is to save your life: if an emergency occurred during take off/landing, the crew has your UNDIVIDED ATTENTION to accept instructions, rather than have you glued to a screen and zoned out. Easy to understand.

Didn't he star in a movie with Kim Jong il a while back?
He'd probably love it there. They have a thing for creepy, schizophrenic, narcissistic megalomaniacs.
