Is Mr. Chad Tillman, creepy recording man an attorney?? That might explain the level 10.0 on the tool scale.

First off, I am not a saint when it comes to cell use as a passenger. That said, that pilot is a tool for being so damn obvious about it. Also, really, twitter?

I nominate whatever "news" outlet that actually spent time on this for Accessory Tool of the Internet.
This is one of the many reasons if I can, I change into a plain collared shirt on commutes. The minute I do that I feel like I'm invisible. I can eat without someone staring in my mouth or better yet sending my mug to CNN for the daily news fodder. I will say though that brother man could have at least used a little discretion and SA while in the monkey suit.

Not taking away the toolishness of the videographer, but the pilot in question is not righteous. How hard is it to follow the rules? Which is more toolish? Using the cell phone for texting and tweeting on the takeoff roll - or - the absolute narcisism and conceit of the person who just has to see how he is trending on Twitter RIGHT NOW. I can't wait until touchdown! I have to know now! We are professionals airman. Let's act like it!

Back in the day when cell phones had to be OFF when the door closed, it used to drive me nuts when any crew member in uniform ignored the announcement. How do you expect pax to obey the rules when others around them (who should know better) think they're above it? I had one commuting pilot on one of my regular runs who ALWAYS did it and, of course, I had to be the ***** to ALWAYS tell him to turn it off, as he should know better.

I'm with you there. All groups demand professional pride until it comes with annoyance and responsibility. I don't chew gum when I'm in my white coat. I don't let my residents chew gum on rounds.

Why? Well, it is just not professional. Act the part if want the perks. It is no coincidence that the guy looks like he is in his 20's.

But yes filming is completely off the rails toolish.

I feel for you back then, and it is total BS that any crew would put FA's in that position.

Today at least you have a little "plausible deniability", in that you can "assume" the phone is airplane mode...if they're not actually talking on it.

Yeah, dude could have avoided the whole thing by tactically blocking the view of what he was doing (or better yet not doing it)

But Passenger McDoosh really takes the prize for getting in other peeps business.
