Here is a link to the actual FAA Final Ruling.
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-201...2014-02991.pdf
Something to note:
"The FAA clarifies that the prohibition in the final rule only extends to
crewmembers at a flightcrew member duty station; therefore, the prohibition does not apply to a person occupying the flight deck jumpseat."
Also, this applies to commercial operations. On non-121 legs their use may be legal as long as the use conforms to company policy. Remember, FOM's are FAA approved documents.
While not official FAA, here is another link.

Finally, I will add that I'm not your chief pilot or a chief pilot at all, nor a check airman. I'm just letting you know FAA policy. You're free to do with it as you please. As a matter of fact, if you are at a legacy carrier I encourage you to ignore this post, especially on a line check.

If you want to be strict in your interpretation? Yes.
If you have a line check or the FAA on board, I'd advise being strict in your interpretation.
Other than that, do what you want, but keep in mind if you post on social media a picture CLEARLY from the flight deck of a commercial airliner, you're documenting your violation of a regulation.

Union got his job back after many months (loss of all seniority IIRC), but with that on his record, he had to pursue another career eventually.

Just a thought. It's your career, you risk it however you like.
