Let's say, for instance, that I was allowed into the cockpit of a low cost airliner whilst it was on the ground and I took a picture.

I would quite like to share this picture but I'm wary of doing so, lest the captain responsible get in trouble.

All I'm saying the airline was one of the following easyJet/Jet2/Ryanair/Flybe.

Any thoughts?

No problems on the ground. In the Air is a different matter (at least in the UK, other countries may be more lax)

Indeed, there was a chap on Airliners.net who did some trip reports including flight deck photos and videos on an Iran Air 747 SP and a Biman Bangladesh DC-10 both during flight. He sat in the cockpit on approach on one of the flights if I remember correctly. I'm not sure that would sit to well with the authorities if it was an Easyjet flight. God knows why.

I meant to add that I have several photos taken through the cockpit door whilst boarding which when zoomed in look like I'm in the cockpit. As far as I know no one has got in trouble.

Thanks for the advice, I've previously refrained from publishing at the request of a captain, but this one didn't seem concerned either way.

I'd have thought it might have been a policy thing, a bit like the railway?
