What does continually taking photos of unsuspecting piots, and then posting them to a forum, make you?
Stop being a coward and taking photos of people and posting them. You don't like how someone looks, be a man and tell them, not snap a photo of them and post it for ridicule.

Agreed! What makes someone think this is acceptable OR funny? It's bad enough if a passenger did this, but a fellow crew member?! No bueno!

I'm the number one douchebag at my company and even I think taking a pic of a passed out pilot is a really weak-dick move. You have no idea what kinda hellacious schedule the guy may have put up with to that point to where he just couldn't stay awake any longer. Not everyone lives in base and flys one leg a day before their 36 hour layover in a five star hotel.

Mod Note:
Anyone who prowls concourses, jetways, restaurants, bathrooms or cockpits taking pictures of the crew doing anything at all IS A BIG FAT TOOL. And if any of these pictures are posted on APC, THE TOOL CAN SAY GOODBYE TO ALL HIS FRIENDS HERE.
Anyone who doesn't understand the simple concept of privacy and common decency is not welcome on APC.
Anyone who thinks it's amusing to send me or the other mods a PM complaining about this (or anything else for that matter) is delusional and also not welcome here.

This is a truly sad, yet accurate portrayal of ehat I call the 1%ers. I have flown with FOs who are in this category. It goes both ways. Usually though the FO feels they are more qualified to be CA. Maybe, maybe not. Even if they were you would think that experience would dictate a desire to strive for teamwork.
Along that last line, how many times in history has metal been bent and flesh been roasted because a crew could not function as a crew? IMHO these 1%ers should be weeded out. I know I know, "but following the book is required and a safety device!" Yes to a point. Of the two 121s I have been at, the books have conflicting and contradictory info. Discretion. That is key. The 1%ers dont have it, and that is why they need not to be flying airplanes.
Dont get me wrong, I follow the book as much as practical. But I dont let my knowlege of the nitty gritty prevent me from seeing the whole picture. Sadly too many people fall for that trap. Good people too. But the 1%ers take it to new and dangerous hights.
Ok im done

I don't think it ever got through to him that what he was describing was the literal opposite of the CRM concept.

People can be photographed if they are in public (without their consent) unless they have secluded themselves and can expect a reasonable degree of privacy. Kids swimming in a fountain? Okay. Somebody entering their PIN at the ATM? Not okay. You are even protected to take photos of private property, as long as you are on public, even if it is into your neighbors window, as long as the curtains are open, and there has been no attempt to close them. Key phrase is there is no expectation of privacy, and person is not legally protected by intellectual property rights, as long as you are in a place viewable by the public. How do you think the paparazzi gets away with celebrity nipple slips on private beaches?
