This was sanctioned by the company as it is simply a marketing trap to make potential applicants believe a pilot job at CX is worth anything.

The whole point of prohibiting pictures is to prevent potentially sensitive, embarrassing or damaging material to be released (online or other).

In this day and age, companies are absolutely powerless against anything virally spreading over the net, no matter how much they wouldn't want it there. I can't say I disagree with the policy.

The hypothetical tw#t publishing pictures of himself doing something embarrassing in a CX cockpit would be detrimental to us as much as to the company.
As if everybody didn't hate us enough.

Now, I've never heard of anyone being fired for taking pictures of pretty clouds or himself in the seat, as long as he's not stupid enough to post them online.

Woop woop pull up.. Woop woop pull up.. :ok: :eek: :p

Another possible f@ck up by the so called "leaders" at CX? Hope the muppets at The HKCAD did n't get their hands dirty on this one already..

Still waiting for the full insights. Very exciting. :p

Perhaps they wish to avoid this?

Perhaps the pilot who had his Twinkie out was simply 'letting the ferret out for some fresh air'? Gets cramped when stuffed down ones trousers for extended periods of time. Or perhaps he was hoping a Flightie would come along and grip his yoke?

Prove it
 

How do companies prove is THEIR plane?
