Probably not fair to single out a person by name, I think it is more of a generational issue than anything. I remember seeing news articles a while back regaling the lavish Instagram account of a 'Qantas pilot' (actually flying a Dash) which involved a lot of standing around in uniform armed with a selfie stick.
I don't think there is much doubt there would be people more interested in it as a career these days for the potential social media following, rather than a long-held love of flying. A key point being most of their photos are of themselves, rather than the views outside. But then again, there have probably always been people flying for the 'look at me' aspect of it, it is just more prevalent now in the age of Instagram.
Though I guess you could probably earn a lot more being an Instagram celebrity than flying a turboprop...
