I work for express jet I wish I was the lucky guy to fire his a**

So is a regular camera ok? I'm not sure where you're going with this. Is a camera ok but the camera function on an iphone is dangerous? What about a GoPro? Cameras are not prohibited by FARs outside of the sterile environment.

Now, if you are saying that using your phone's camera function for maybe a 7 second photo is for some reason dangerous, again, LEAVING THE FLIGHTDECK ENTIRELY to use the restroom must be exponentially more dangerous. Do you truly think there is a danger here or are you just saying "breaking a (possible)FAR is wrong?"

Hoban, the veteran American Airlines pilot, said he doesn’t even approve of reading books while the plane is on autopilot. “In a sense, you’re a systems manager at cruise altitude,” he said. “It happens more often than you think that you have to correct what the plane is doing.”
He sounds like a real treat to fly with as well :rolleyes:

I am honestly usually a respectful captain but it ticks me off that this guy would release the names of these pilots. They just put their jobs in jeopardy just for the media to get a hay day off of it

You can be my wingman anytime. :D. That's right ice man, I am dangerous. I want some butts!

I can't get these top gun quotes out of my head after reading your posts. Glad I don't work around your company. You and people like you are part of the reason so many people hate their job at xjt.

what I am trying to say is the pilot who is flying the aircraft should not be video taping on any device that includes phones, camera and gopro now if your handling the radio I am fine with that. I never use the restroom if I am the one flying

I don't mean to set a negative vibe to me our my company. That guy has no right to release the names of the pilots
