For what? Being removed from the aircraft for failing to obey the lawful order of an inflight crew member? Good luck.

Don't get me wrong - Snake was hosed here, and he should have gotten something out of AA because AA should have known that their employee went a little beyond what was reasonable. Doesn't mean, however, that was they did was illegal or gives rise to a breach of contract claim. It is within AA's rights to tell you not to use a cell phone on board the aircraft. They did, Snake didn't turn it off. End of story. Should it have been the end of the story? No, because it was stupid, but litigation is definitely not the answer here.
