Work Photos on Social Media
Step 1.
Log on to Facebook or whatever social media is your thing Step 2. Delete every photo of you or taken by you in the cockpit of a company aircraft Step 3. Put your privacy settings to the most restrictive setting. Finally, if you think this is an over reaction then ask the guy who is about to get crucified by his employer and the HKCAD. Oh yeah. Happy new year. |
Santa - assuming he didn't have an assistant in the photo - you can't be serious?!!

I don't 'social network'.
However, since this seems to be a thing of the moment, I find it to be the perfect Darwinian selection tool, sometimes. Some people's desire to advertise every aspect of their lives seems to override their ability to realize that it may, at some stage, conflict with the interests of other individuals or entities. Especially when said 'entity' is the one who employs you under the terms that will keep cognisant of their rules and publications, which happen to mention that no photography shall be made aboard the flight deck without proper authorization... Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for the guy. But then why, aside from vanity, would one expose himself in such a sensitive way? Besides, chicks don't like pilots anymore. We don't make any money... |
But mom! How else are all my mates gonna know that I'm a pilot?!

The "It's all about Me - look at Me" Generation. |
What's the full story?
|
Actually some people don't have real friends. Like me sitting in a hotel room a million miles from reality. There's always Rodriguez!:ugh:
|
Iflylow
Are you from the generation that tells kids to get off your lawn? |
The HKCAD - WTF interest do they have in, what I presume is Cathay Pathetic's bullying of yet another individual, this respect..?? :}
Ah - suppose we gotta hear the full story, so please publish it on Pprune asap and if you are uncomfortable doing it yourself - just PM me and I shall be more than happy to put it "out there". :p:p. I couldn't give a rats @ss about those w@ankers. Happy NY to everybody - including the social media victim :ok: |
Err, lemme guess....was he getting a blowjob?

Agree 100% it is company policy
It is strictly forbidden for any person within the Flight Deck of any ... aircraft to use any media, video, photographic or audio recording device or similar equipment, unless specifically authorised by MLO or designate. However it always amazes me and seems to be a flexible rule if you are going to submit it to CNews or for an aerial view of the latest typhoon that goes into a weekly update. I can't read that caveat in the above policy, but seems to happen with monotonous regularity. Have no sympathy for an idiot who posts something on social media, but in the disciplinary procedure I know I would ask the question "why the double standard". |
Ok, fine. Rules are rules.
But, can anyone please explain to me what is actually wrong about a photo of me in the cockpit, flying the aircraft?? This is a genuine question: is it a security risk, or what? I cannot for the life of me see what might be driving this policy... |
Politically correct bull**** world we now all live in.
What a load of rubbish. Who f****** cares.. |
Plenty of airlines out there have no such rule and the Internet is littered with lots of high quality detailed photos of just about every flight deck you can imagine so it can't be a security risk.
|
CAD
Perhaps the CAD'stime would be better spent investigating the Company's abuse of the FTL and RP's instead of chasing FB pics!
|
Why would you post this without telling the story of what happened?
|
I initially read the title of this as 'wank photos ....'
Not much difference really ........... |
Yeah, this is bullocks! Mate, if you've been intimidated by the Cathay Pathetic "management" just PM me and I shall more than happily publish it all - ALL.. Those ppl need some of their own pills down their own throats:eek::}:ok:
|
Perhaps JS needs to be reminded about his own wife's very embarrassing videos on youtube, before hauling in a bright eyed pilot who was simply keen to show off his/her new high flying job.
|
Mumpties
These Mumpties should be fired. Clear HD video of all our workspaces including the flight deck. Disgraceful. CAD where are you now?

Clear HD video of all our workspaces including the flight deck. Disgraceful. CAD where are you now? 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. |
A Malay female staff published on fb that Co. "Equipment dosen't work".later it was deleted..but too late.In controvension of Company social media policy.
|
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 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?
