1 year ago
An unidentified woman missed her American Airlines flight last week because staff found her choice of clothing offensive, according to news reports.
That’s because it bore a statement that first appeared at a pro-choice rally this year: “If I wanted the government in my womb, I’d f–k a senator.”
The woman, identified only as “O,” said of the incident, “When I boarded, I was one of the first groups to board (did not pass by many folks).”
“I was wearing my shawl loosely around my neck and upon sitting down, the lady next to me, who was already seated, praised me for wearing the shirt.”

On a JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas yesterday, a group of passengers were forced to band together and subdue Clayton Osbon, a pilot who simply flipped out, behaving erratically, banging on the cockpit door and screaming out numbers.
On his radio show this morning, meanwhile, Carson Daly referenced the incident.
“Most of the people were on their way to some sort of security conference in Las Vegas,” he said. “It was like a bunch of dudes and well trained dudes… thank God.”
The Voice host then added, laughing: “With my luck, it would be like… ‘this is the flight going to [the gay

If only Mark Wahlberg were on one of the planes hijacked on September 11, 2001.
We don’t mean that to suggest that we wish Mark were dead – that’s precisely the point! In an interview with Men’s Journal, the Contraband star claims that if he were on board that fateful day, the storyline would’ve been much different.
“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” he says.
He’s not speaking metaphorically, he’s apparently serious. Mark adds:
“There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land this

A Boston-area woman sparked a potential airline security threat this week when she tried to take a cupcake on a plane. The frosting? Too gel-like for TSA!
Rebecca Hains was able to pass through Logan Airport security with two cupcakes, but she was stopped on the way back from Las Vegas with one of them.
Hains said she had received the cupcakes as a gift and after eating one on the trip out west, decided to save the other for the flight back. NOT SO FAST!
No word on how the first one tasted, or what flavor frosting was on it.

As you’re probably aware, Alec Baldwin was kicked off an American Airlines flight last week when an attendant dared interrupt his intense game of Words With Friends.
How is the 30 Rock star handling this minor PR nightmare? By impersonating an AA pilot on SNL‘s Weekend Update and issuing a faux apology to himself, of course.
Sounding a little like John Edwards with a hilariously bogus Southern accent, “Captain Steve Rogers” went out of the way to apologize to the actor for removing him.
Not only that, he praised Baldwin as a bright, American hero.

Occasionally volatile actor Alec Baldwin has issued an apology for the crazy incident that saw him get kicked off an American Airlines flight on Tuesday.
Baldwin became irate after his game of Words With Friends was interrupted with the flight from JFK to LAX still at the gate, but the cabin doors closed.
When he was asked to turn off his phone, Baldwin retreated to the bathroom and allegedly slammed the door, leading the pilot to call for his removal.
Today, he’s feeling bad about all this. He writes:
