Yeah, then pilots should never be allowed to read books, magazines, eat, drink. Hell just make it a sterile cockpit 100% of the time.

How many crashes or incidents have resulted from taking in flight photos? That's what I thought. You and David Yankoffsky should hang out.

My cockpit was taking pictures during a flight once. I got mad because he was the one monitoring the flight. I ended up taking the controls back.

Cockpit is suppose to be co-pilot sorry:confused:

Pilots of Intstagram
 

The selfie pics are a whole other level, who ever knows this cat and where ever he works should print copies and hang it around the crew room , including the article .

Hopeless

Those of you who think taking a picture above 10 is "being distracted"are no better than this guy. I see no problem with cameras or even a PED being used as a camera in airplane mode. We are only trying to share our love of our job with others who may appreciate it. Even a Gopro turned on at the start of a flight and not touched until the end is fine by me. If you screw up or Crash you just helped the FAA and NTSB in their investigation.

Here is the db's own mile high selfie. https://origincache-frc.fbcdn.net/19...92188459_n.jpg

You can comment bomb him on his article link here.

While I am not condoning this act, his facebook profile is being posted all over pilot communities on facebook. Lets just say his profile privacy settings should have been a little tighter, he posted the link to the article on his page, over 300 comments from total strangers just ripping him a new one

Ah beat me to it!

You have a point but if your the pilot monitoring and its your leg than they should have no excuse on pulling out a camera and taking pictures. They should be more focused on flying.
