Not sure why guys put this stuff out there. It just seems like a way to bring unneeded attention to yourself/employer.

The guys was sporting some major 5 O'clock shadow too.

AirDrop has an effective range of about 30'.

Also, the guys phone is on "airplane mode".

Draw your own conclusions.

You can airdrop in airplane mode. Just requires wifi/BT to be on.

Hard to get around that 30' range though.

I think the US of A , is the only country that won't allow Airline pilots to grow beards. ( I know.. oxygen mask blah blah blah)

Yeah. And they wouldn't die because of hypoxia and masks not sealing against a whole face full of hair and all.....blah, blah, blah....

(You know-because "hypoxia" is just a thing "the man" made up to keep everyone fooled. Just like all that other college nonsense. It's a scam-to keep the doctors rich.)

And because the USA isn't smart enough to see through this conspiracy....

Actually, it doesn't have to seal that well. I think most people that have used pressure - demand masks realize that you'd need a monster beard to affect the flow. My air force mask never sealed perfectly, and I was fine.

I know the pilot.
He was operating a long-haul cargo flight over the pacific. It was real.
The company allows beards. (Like almost every country outside the US does).
Would I have posted that? No.
Do I think it's cool? Yes.
No need to have your face in it IMHO.
That all said, he's a very nice guy, and a great pilot to fly with.
