No, but people still do it.

 

You guys might want to read your company manuals, just because the PAX can do it doesn't mean you can.

"1.11 Personal Equipment Distractions caused by portable electronic devices affect flight safety because they can detract from a flight crew's ability to monitor and cross-check instruments, detect hazards and avoid errors. A. Personal Electronics: Flight crewmembers may not use personal portable electronic devices (PEDs), (e.g., cell phones, two-way pagers, I-pods/MP3 players, laptops, PDAs, etc.), while performing job-related duties on or around the aircraft unless directly related to those duties. This does not preclude operations-related cell phone use to contact SOC, etc. when necessary as an alternate means of communication. Captains must take precautions to ensure cell phone use does not interfere with ground movement safety."

 

What about posting an excerpt of your company's copywritten manual on the internet?

 

Absolutely correct as far as the crew goes. A jumpseater might eb able to take video, although he's technically part of the crew and I suppose the FAA might prefer that he watch for traffic or something...not sure how that would play.

But definitely not good for the crew, I know a guy who got fired for doing exactly that.

 

Just be smart about it. Don't have a camera angle where anyone is visible or registration numbers. Also certainly don't post on Facebook and if you post on YouTube have a random user name. When it all comes down to it there's no way a video could be proven to be yours if done right. You could simply be reposting a video.

 

Your company copyrighted their manuals? They must be making a killing on royalties.

This thread is amazing

 

just to help another pointless thread make it to 30 pages.......Strobes on of off entering the runway?

 

It's sad how paranoid we've become to something so stupid like taking a picture or filming at our jobs.

 

And when we finish debating strobes; leather jackets? Thoughts? Haha

 

What about the use of DC Headsets only?
