Alec Baldwin Kicked Of AA Flight!

Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin was kicked off from an American Airlines plane at LAX today but we’re guessing he made nice because he tweeted that he then got on another flight.

All of this according to Twitter. Here’s the timeline:

Michael J. Wolf (@mjw) of Activate tweeted around 1:45 p.m. PST: “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.”

American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith says via email that the airline doesn’t comment on such cases, citing its privacy policy for “customers, famous or not famous.” A law enforcement source confirmed to L.A. Now that Baldwin was escorted off the flight.

Baldwin (@alecbaldwin) sent this tweet around 2 p.m.: “Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving. #nowonderamericaairisbankrupt,” @AlecBaldwin wrote around 2 p.m. (Words With Friends is a mobile word game by Zynga.)

Sixteen minutes later he tweeted: “#theresalwaysunited.” And then: “But, oddly, 30 Rock plays inflight on American.”

At 2:35 p.m., the airline (@AmericanAir) responded: “@AlecBaldwin Mr. Baldwin, we are looking into this. Please DM us contact information.”

After that, Baldwin responded: “Now on the 3 o’clock American flight. The flight attendants already look … smarter.”

And then: “#theresalwaysunited Last flight w American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950′s find jobs as flight attendants.”

In the wake of Baldwin's Twitter attacks on the company, American Airlines has released this statement:

"Since an extremely vocal customer has publicly identified himself as being removed from an American Airlines flight on Tuesday, Dec. 6, we have elected to provide the actual facts of the matter as well as the FAA regulations which American, and all airlines, must enforce. Cell phones and electronic devices are allowed to be used while the aircraft is at the gate and the door is open for boarding.

When the door is closed for departure and the seat belt light is turned on, all cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off for taxi-out and take-off.

This passenger declined to turn off his cell phone when asked to do so at the appropriate time. The passenger ultimately stood up (with the seat belt light still on for departure) and took his phone into the plane’s lavatory. He slammed the lavatory door so hard, the cockpit crew heard it and became alarmed, even with the cockpit door closed and locked.

They immediately contacted the cabin crew to check on the situation. The passenger was extremely rude to the crew, calling them inappropriate names and using offensive language. Given the facts above, the passenger was removed from the flight and denied boarding."

Wow…that Words With Friends game must be good!
