Good point. Did see a LOT of nice private jets on the GA ramp when we landed.

Actor Scott Eastwood (Clint's son) on AA181 LAX-PEK in seat 4L, traveling with a blonde woman in 5L and several others. The FAs chastised him and the blonde (and not in a joking way) several times for not being in his seat when the seatbelt sign was on. Don't think they didn't recognize him.

I sat next to Shaun White from Vail to LAX on Saturday - he was coming back from the Burton US Open held at Vail over the last week/weekend. He arrived with his handler who was the only other gate upgrade on the A319 besides me; she sat in front of me on the aisle in 1D passing him magazines through the flight and I sat in 2D. He wore his ski mask and hoodie the entire time, other than to order the fruit/cheese and water. I didn't bother him as it was clear he was trying to remain discreet / covered . First time sitting next to a celeb on an AA flight

I'm glad I didn't. After deplaning in Phoenix, I waited on the jetway. As he approached, I asked for a picture, but he walked right by and ignored me. He didn't even decline or say "no". Just brushed me aside. I guess some of those stories about him being rude, aloof and unfriendly are true after all.

That's because it was Roger Murdock. He's an airline pilot.

Doesn’t matter, it’s all ball bearings these days.

Saw Keith Urban in the AC "L-Concourse" ORD Lounge 2 weeks ago on a Saturday morning. I was sitting near the front desk. The AAngel turned to me after she checked him in and excitedly said, "That was Keith Urban!!!"
