I dunno, seems the majority of the images posted were taken by the copilot.  With two pilots in the cockpit, I think a quick snapshot is safe, but then again, I'm not a real pilot.  Clowning for the camera, shows that the crew is human and has a sense of humor, but bad for company image.

.... and the authors of this report have obviously never, EVER, used a cellphone whilst driving.

Stuff like taking pictures,ect helps keep the crew awake. I wish the media would just lay off pilots. If it wasn't for them I would be able to get a job flying an RJ now but I can't thanks to the 1500 hour rule. It's hard to justify spending 50k on college,60k in training and then 4 or 5 years building time just to make 18k a year.Which is why Im trying to get in the Airforce.

I hope to see the author of that article on my manifest one day. I'll be offloading him.
