Instagram and pilots?
Not sure what forum to throw this in, but I had a coworker show me his Instagram account I was very surprised to see what appears to be mostly foreign, young FOs (and some attractive females doing yoga and flying a 737), that post pics of themselves in the cockpit. Some post a pic of their fancy aviator watch while grasping the thrust levers. Rarely is the captain or other crew seen in the same shot. Likewise, a ton of gopro videos accompany their profiles as well (does gopro sponsor airline FOs?). The same can be seen with FAs, primarily from the ME.
I am curious - is this the new wave of millennial narcissistic pilots everyone keeps talking about? Do these airlines they fly for endorse this as a PR outlet? Why is this such a phenomenon overseas, or has the FAA already cracked down on that nonsense?
