This guy refuses to comply, is belligerent about it, and only gets a letter of warning from the FAA. #useless

And his 15 minutes of fame courtesy of CNN just reinforces his belligerence by presenting him as being in the right with the airlines and FAA as morons. Nice going CNN, Alec Baldwin for president.

But it came in handy to see the birds getting sucked into the big D's engines, maybe time to change this rule anyways.

Rule are rules...if he doesnt like it, he can take the bus and use his ipad to film the vagrants on the side of the road. Whats next, he doesnt like smoking being banned from flights so he feels its ok to light one up anyways? They should have fined him and made an example out of him.

This is just another example of how much our industry has fallen. 20 years ago the passengers listened and followed instructions given to them by the flight crew. Now we are just "a Pain in the ARSHH" to them. Sad. PS I am sure this guy is a real piece of work in his daily life too.

I wish I could use my Kindle below 10K. Even when it's off, it's still on.

I'm with the Ipad guy on this one.

15 minutes of fame - anyone esle catch him say "he's just out on the road trying to promote a book". What a d-bag.

That's great - we fart the wrong way in a cockpit and the Feds can swoop in and take/suspend our tickets or ruin our careers but this guy openly ignores regulations and they send him a letter.

He needs a beating

Looks like a future business jet passenger if you ask me.
