Perhaps the planes in these pic's aren't airbourne. The cockpit door was opened after the flight had landed on an Air Malta plane I was on recently before all the pax has disembarked (probably the closest I'll ever get to the instruments on a jet again)
Obviously the pilots saw no danger & perhaps you've misinterpreted the pic's.
Incidentally I notice now pax tend to now break out in applause once the plane has landed & it certainly wasn't cause of the smooth landings
Obviously there is still alot of nervousness & relief to be on the ground among pax.
Mooney, don't mind them pet! Hope you're flying career is going well for you
