Alec is being discriminated against because of his celebrity
status. I'm with Alec! Flew AA three weeks ago. DFW to LAX a woman
couldn't turn her phone off and NOT ONE flight attendant seemed
concerned, walking past her several times, even when I asked
someone to help her turn it off. Either it matters or it doesn't.
And the rudest attendants...when I asked for a blanket which one of
the elderly former parochial schoolgirls was holding in her hands I
was told "there's a very sick person in the back and if I give you
one I'll have to give one to everybody... WTF? Return flight DFW to
KC a guy was playing his game while we were held up about 40
minutes after the announcement to turn devices off...all the way
till the plane lifted off and he turned it off for maybe 20 seconds
and back on again. Row 7 aisle, so not like he was hiding. Alec has
this one right. AA attendants suck

I see so many folks when I fly that do not turn off their
cell phones. And, I am annoyed by it that someone decides to take
my safety into their hands. Why does Alex think that he did not
have to follow the rules? And to then create this huge whirlwind of
twitter messages? You made a mistake in a moment and are now adding
to it. Unfotunately, flying today is stressful enough without
adding more inconvenience to other passengers with undue delays
etc.
