Off An American Airlines Flight Playing Words With Friends By Mike Mitchell |
||||
December 7, 2011 - Actor Alec Baldwin was kicked off an
American Airlines flight at Los Angeles International
Airport on Tuesday. Alec Baldwin tweets, “Flight
attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing Words With
Friends while we sat at the gate, not moving.”
Apparently when all of the passengers boarded the flight
and the door was closed, a flight attendant demanded
Baldwin turn it off his phone.
Baldwin then got into a spat with the flight attendant,
then got out of his seat, went into the bathroom and
slammed the door. The pilot was informed of the spat and
the door slamming, ordered Baldwin off the plane
according to passengers. Baldwin
tweets, "Last flight w American. Where retired
Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950's find jobs
as flight attendants."
