Rather than fret over their jobs, flight attendants obsess on Alec Baldwin, attempt 30 Rock ban
One might think the Association of Professional Flight Attendants — the union representing American Airlines' 18,000 flight attendants — might have enough to worry about with the airline filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late November. After all, experts suggest that the restructuring will likely lead to decreases in pay and benefits, pensions and overall jobs.
So of course the APFA has mobilized against . . . Alec Baldwin.

“There is a difference between being funny and being mean,” AFPA's Julie Frederick told RadarOnline.com. “Flight attendants have not been the only recipients of Alec Baldwin’s ill temper."
Now, according to E! Online, the flight attendants have talked to decision makers at American Airlines to try and get Baldwin's sitcom 30 Rock pulled from the in-flight entertainment lineup. A spokesman for American says no final decision on the show has been made.
