===Runway incident===
In December 2011, Baldwin was on an American Airlines flight at Los Angeles airport, and playing Words with Friends on his phone while waiting for takeoff. When instructed to put away the "electronic device" by the stewardess, he reportedly became belligerent, and was eventually removed from the plane. He later publicly apologized to the passengers who were delayed but not the airline or federal regulators."Alec Baldwin thrown off AA flight at LAX for 'playing game' on phone". New York Post.
In 2012, a commercial for Capital One credit cards (for which Baldwin is a spokesman) made a humorous reference to this event: A viking character from the famous ad series asks about the phone Baldwin is using, and Baldwin replies, in a very facetious way, that it is not to be used on the runway, ending with a very chiding "no!" A commercial for Best Buy, also humorously referenced the event in which the Words With Friends co-creators Paul Bettner and David Bettner are on a plane and are interrupted by a stewardess looking down at them, clearing her throat and signaling them to put their phones away while saying, "we created Words With Friends." 
Baldwin also made a guest appearance on SNL's Weekend Update posing as the captain of the plane he was removed from in a bit poking fun at the situation.
===A Promise to Ourselves===
In 2008 Baldwin and Mark Tabb published their book, A Promise to Ourselves, which chronicles Baldwin's seven-year battle to remain a part of his daughter's life."Alec Baldwin: A Promise to Ourselves".
Baldwin contends that after their separation in December 2000, his former wife, Kim Basinger, endeavored to deny him access to his daughter by refusing to discuss parenting,Baldwin 2008. p25. blocking visitation,Baldwin 2008. pp 71, 117, 150–51, 153, 166, 169. not providing telephone access,Baldwin 2008. pp. 43, 71, 127, 153–54, 178, 180. not following court orders,Baldwin 2008. pp. 117, 155, 165, 175–77. not dropping their daughter off for reasons of it being inconvenient,Baldwin 2008 and directly lobbying the child.Baldwin 2008. p. 66. He contends she spent over $1.5 million in the effort.Baldwin 2008. pp. 185, 202.
Baldwin called this parental alienation syndrome.Baldwin 2008. pp. 75–94. Baldwin has called the attorneys in the case "opportunists" and has characterized Basinger's psychologists as part of the "divorce industry". He has faulted them more than Basinger, and writes, "In fact, I blame my ex-wife least of all for what has transpired. She is a person, like many of us, doing the best she can with what she has. She is a litigant, and therefore, one who walks into a courtroom and is never offered anything other than what is served there. Nothing off the menu, ever."Baldwin 2008. pp. 215–216.
Baldwin wrote that he has spent over a million dollars,Baldwin 2008. pp. 202–03. has had to put time aside from his career,Baldwin 2008. p. 99, 102. has had to travel extensively,Baldwin 2008. pp. 41, 45, 151–53. and needed to find a house in California (he lived in New York),Baldwin 2008. pp. 44, 47, 117. so he could stay in his daughter's life.
Baldwin contended that after seven years of these issues, he hit a breaking point, and on April 11, 2007, left an angry voicemail message in response to another unanswered arranged call in which Baldwin called his daughter a "rude, thoughtless little pig".Baldwin 2008. pp. 173–184. He contends that the tape was sold to TMZ, which released the recording despite laws against publishing media related to a minor without the permission of both parents.Baldwin 2008. pp. 178–179. Baldwin admitted he made a mistake, but asked not to be judged as a parent based on a bad moment.Baldwin 2008. pp. 101, 151. He later admitted to Playboy in June 2009 that he contemplated suicide over the voice mail that leaked to the public. Of the incident, he said "I spoke to a lot of professionals, who helped me. If I committed suicide, [ex-wife Kim Basinger's side] would have considered that a victory. Destroying me was their avowed goal."
During the autumn of 2008, Baldwin toured in support of the book, speaking about his experiences related in it.Italie, Hillel. "Alec Baldwin's Book Tour: Crowded And Conflicted". The Huffington Post. September 24, 2008.Georgiades, William. "Emmy winner Alec Baldwin talks about the book he didn't want to write". Los Angeles Times. September 25, 2008.
==Political views==
Baldwin serves on the board of People for the American Way. He is a vegan and an animal rights activist, and a strong supporter of PETA, for which he has done work that includes narrating the video entitled Meet Your Meat. Baldwin also lent his support to the Save the Manatee Club by donating his time to record several public service announcements for the group, which had contacted him following his role in "Bonfire of the Manatees", an episode of The Simpsons in which he was the voice of a biologist working to save the endangered mammals.
During his appearance on the comedy late night show Late Night with Conan O'Brien on December 12, 1998, eight days before President Bill Clinton was to be impeached, Baldwin said, "If we were in another country ... we would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families, for what they're doing to this country." Baldwin later apologized for the remarks, and the network explained it was meant as a joke and promised not to rerun it.
Baldwin said in a 2006 interview with the New York Times that if he did become involved in electoral politics, he would prefer to run for Governor of New York. When asked if he was qualified for the office, Baldwin responded that he considered himself far more qualified than California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. In June 2011, The Daily reported that Baldwin was mulling a 2013 run for Mayor of New York City, in the wake of a potential early race shakeup after candidate Congressman Anthony Weiner's sexting scandal. However, on December 21, 2011, Baldwin said he was abandoning plans to run for the office and would instead continue in his role on 30 Rock.
In February 2009, Baldwin spoke out to encourage state leaders to renew New York's tax break for the film and television industry, stating that if the "tax breaks are not reinstated into the budget, film production in this town is going to collapse and television production is going to collapse and it's all going to go to California".
During the 2011 Emmy Awards, Baldwin was slated to appear in a taped skit. However, the producers of the show cut a portion of the skit containing a reference to Rupert Murdoch and the News International phone hacking scandal. Baldwin told Access Hollywood Live that he asked them not to air his performance. Producers complied and he was replaced with Leonard Nimoy.
