That's how my buddy got fired. Although the probable narc was junior to my buddy so his motive may have been seniority.

Point is, do not be stupid up there. It's one thing to read "company material" or even use your disconnected phone to catch up on company material. But if anything gets dorked up, you can bet the FAA and your company will ask for your phone immediately to make sure you weren't on the WiFi.

In the meantime….shut the front door…and don’t ever ever answer any Qs the FAA, NTSB, or company ask without counsel.
Y’all have indeed watched that video “Don’t talk to the police”, righttt?? Same
principle applies here.

Yes. Same rules as using your cell phone.
The rule wasn't written with cameras in mind, that was collateral damage, they were trying to account for texting, online activity, etc. Politicians got involved after a NW crew overflew their destination at FL350 while sleeping, and blamed it on being distracted by a laptop.
Or kindles for that matter... technically it's OK to read a paperback but not a kindle.

Notwithstanding my advice above, the NWA crew would have been better off saying they fell asleep. This was only 6 months after the Colgan accident when fatigue was a red hot topic. Of course we are stuck with a more restrictive rule than simply sterile below 10 because they opened their mouth instead of shutting up and lawyering up.

Anyone can “ask” for anything but the ONLY situation in which I’ll hand anything over is if it’s done by a court order. And then only after consulting with an attorney!!

Can't ASAP away as non-sole source when it's already voluntarily posted on social media, and shows a willful breaking of an advisory circular https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/...C_91.21-1D.pdf pay particular attention to paragraph 8.3.3 as well as https://www.faa.gov/other_visit/avia.../InFO14006.pdf
the PPM may say they won't use against you what you have on your company issued EFB, but you can bet they will use it as leverage.

It's amazing that some people are willing to throw away a multi-million dollar career just to post some pictures on Instagram and Facebook. But hey, I just don't understand the younger generations. Didn't we lose someone at DL for answering their phone one too many times?

Yeah, if you get asked about it, don't lie... they might be fishing or they might actually have proof, in which case they are trying to trap you in a lie because it's *much* easier to fire you on the first offense for lying than most run-of-the-mil offenses.
