Some Americans are idiots.
Rab-bye is the one that I hear the most, from my Jewish friends. I've known several rabbis, and gone to school with Orthodox Jews. I'm also fairly sure its prounuced that way in England. I've never heard reb-eye, nor ruh-bie.
Just because you hear something on a plane, or from one person, does not mean that its the way Americans speak. American accents are quite varied, and in some places in the US its all WASP. Hence, they might not be familiar with Rabbis.
Sorry for my rant, but I do hate generalizations. Especially from people who get in up arms over them themselves.
