“It was awful, Seth,” Captain Rogers exclaimed. “Which is why it was important of me to come here and on behalf of everyone at American Airlines, issue an apology to Mr. Alec Baldwin! Mr. Baldwin is an American treasure, and I am ashamed at the way he was treated! What harm would it do to let him keep playing his game, not any game have you! But a word game for smart people!”

    Love him or hate him, that was insane.

    he’s a liberal elite they think rules don’t apply to them there for the peasents

    I guess one man’s “lampoons” is another man’s “thinly veiled defense”.

    Baldwin could have taken this opportunity to actually lampoon himself as an authentic act of contrition.  Instead, he took a club and beat American Airlines over the head with it. 

    What a classy guy, that Balwin.

    Yeah, it’s kinda fun because I don’t even know what to think! 

    He’s a dick. And, considering all the dickheads in the comment sections of mediaite, most people should kinda enjoy that.

    What a dip.  He doesn’t even care about the 150 other passengers that lost an hour or more out of their day because of him.

    No doubt many of the 150 missed connecting flights.  

    No doubt many of the 150 had relatives sitting in a terminal waiting an extra hour for them to arrive.

    No doubt many of the 150 had business meetings they were late to.

    No doubt there were unaccompanied hildren on the flight flying to meet parents, perhaps flying for the first time ever.

    When you extrapolate the impact to the other 150 people, Baldwin easily inconvenienced 500 or more people.

    But with Baldwin, it is all about Baldwin, he can’t even bring himself to apologize to the people he inconvenienced.

    Hmmm.  Maybe this was all about him NEEDING a skit for SNL, so he did it on purpose?

    Yeah, SNL gives the self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing Alec Baldwin an opportunity to diminish the gravity of his actions which reveal   that he thinks rules apply to everyone but him. He made a complete fool out of himself, demonstrating what a callow jerk he is. Imagine- you are supposed to be an adult and yet you curse out a flight attendant, scamper down an aisle way and lock yourself in a bathroom to play a frigging word game!

    He is the epitome of conceit, self-exaltation, smugness, and totally incapable of acknowledging his mistake or his unmitigated  superciliousness.

    Meh. Alec’s in so tight with Loren Michaels and the NBC execs he could have hijacked the plane and still gotten a spot on “Weekend Update” to try and laugh the incident off and move public opinion back in his direction.

    It was a very funny skit and has defused some of the public hostility toward Alec.  Whoever suggested that Alec appear and participate in Weekend Update deserves to be congratulated!

    I wonder if they charged him extra for transferring his luggage to the next flight?  He should have called President Obama and asked him if he could borrow Air Force I for a few hours!

  • Anonymous

    It certainly would have saved some time had the pilot initiated the takeoff and then forced Alec to bail out at 35,000 feet.  They could have charged him $500.00 for the parachute and $25.00 for every bag thrown out of the cargo hold.  No wonder American Airlines is in bankruptcy.

    Leve it to clueless NBC to dress-up Baldwin in First Officer’s uniform and purport him to be a Captain. Captains wear four stripes on their sleeves, not three.

    Why would any news site except for the most ridiculous and inconsequential put this item on its front page?

    As opposed to conservative elites who place $10,000 bets because that amount of money is chump change to them

    Except for the fact that stunt would have killed everyone onboard, great idea! :OP

    The best take on this is by Bobby Head at HighlightHollywoo.com  Hysterical  This is Baldwin’s worst mess since degrading his little girl.

    Going on TV to defuse a negative incident with humor is a common tactic used by well known people.

    Its interesting to see which program they show up on, how well they do and how other media respond.

    DB Cooper jumped at 10,000 feet, which at that altitude the pressure would have been sufficient for passengers to breathe.

    Had the cabin door been opened at 35,000 feet there would have likely been explosive decompression and a complete loss of breathable oxygen.

    Found the skit rather self serving.  OTOH I know that’s obvious.  What Alec Baldwin should of done is issue a sincere apology to the plane’s captain, its passengers.   What the chances of that? About as much as getting people to believe Jennifer Aniston is the sexiest woman ever.  Men’s Health voted JA sexist woman for all time.

    Why doesn’t Alec just leave the country like he promised he would do 8 years ago?

    Baldwin appearing in a respectable uniform on SNL is just disgusting.   He shamed — just seeing his ugly face in that uniform after what he did was shameful.

    Alec is really an idiot.  He SHOULD have mocked his own tantrum, now he’s made the story into pure pop culture.   Every flight, for the rest of his life, he’ll be reminded of his tantrum.   

    Karma is a fun thing.

    Fair enough!  They should have had Alec bail out at 10,000 feet instead of 35,000.
