I don't know of anywhere in the manual that says "flight attendants cannot be on the ramp", or "pictures of the aircraft are not to be taken". If passengers are on a maintenance delay or something, of course it looks bad if you are seen doing a photo shoot, but who cares otherwise! This is one of the most ridiculous news stories I've ever seen! If the flight was out on time, the front and back end crews do their required checks, and all escort procedures are followed, then there should be no issue. It upsets me that the spirit representative threw her under the bus. At least we made the news again. Free advertising!
