Re: Photography on/from an aircraft - interesting rules on United
I'm sure their lawyers suggested this to help them in cases where something unusual went on during a flight. Nowadays, video of flight attendants bouncing down the aisle during heavy turbulence could/would be on TV before the aircraft landed...

Re: Photography on/from an aircraft - interesting rules on United
Wasn't there a viral video where a passenger showed the baggage handlers bouncing his guitar around? I think one of the airlines got a lot of embarrassing publicity out of that. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Sun, Jan 22, 2012 at 1:08 AM, Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org wrote: Hi All, I thought this might be of interest to some PDMLers.

Re: Photography on/from an aircraft - interesting rules on United
I suspect you are referring to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo It made a big resonance in the news and everywhere ( and even from Bob Taylor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n12WFZq2__0 ) - but it is not the actual video reportage about the handlers. Personally, I don't care too much about photographing the personnel (although I was tempted to do that on Singapore Air), - but primarily about photographing views: interesting clouds and the ground scenes during landing/takeoff.

Re: Photography on/from an aircraft - interesting rules on, United
From: George Sinos Wasn't there a viral video where a passenger showed the baggage handlers bouncing his guitar around? I think one of the airlines got a lot of embarrassing publicity out of that. gs Indeed, United Breaks Guitars. But it wasn't filmed on the aircraft at the time of the incident. He made the video after the event because United tried to screw him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
