Otherwise, they have a point regarding the takeoff and landing photos...that's stupid to divert attention at those moments. But if they're using a gopro which they review AFTER the flight then no big whoop.

The interesting thing about the T/O and Landing pics is that at least from my view, 4 out of the 6 were obviously taken from the jumpseat. Don't know many pilots who like to straddle the center console on approach. The 2 taken from the CA and FO seats are pretty foolish to post but the other 4 don't bother me in the least.

Actually, the TOTD are the guys who flout FAA regs. How about a little professionalism out there, boys?

I'm not sure how unprofessional it is, as much as overly enthusiastic on the pilot's behalf. I personally never really got it. Why would one want to place pictures from the cockpit out on social media?

I mean a go-pro camera from the inside of a fighter jet or space shuttle seems cool, but I find it rather toolish to go-pro film an entire working leg at a 121 carrier.

For Example....

Must be nice to fly around the Greek Islands while sipping on espresso and being served an inflight meal by a fit stew. Definitely won't see that in 'murica.

Plus a LOT (I think most) of those pics could easily have been taken from the back while DHing or non revving, etc. Most of the rest could have came from a manual wind up camera, printed out from one hour photo and then scanned. Only a tiny percentage of those pics can truly be proven to be "rule breaking".

Oh well, now the dweeb has 14:59 of fame remaining to try and find.

The regional captain two seats down the bar from me. Explaining to the Delta FO sitting next to him that every time he jumpseats on Delta he observes the pilots operate with "Swiss precision."

Has his head disappeared into the FO's rectum yet?
