Renee Steinaker says...she saw an iPad mounted to the jet’s windshield where she could see the pilot in the restroom. She says the co-pilot then told her that the cameras were a new “top secret security measure” which Steinmaker later determined was not true.
She claims that the pilots also left the aircraft unattended after landing the flight, and “left a loaded firearm unattended in the cockpit” which violates FAA regulations. more
The two pilots, both based near Southwest's Dallas headquarters, have denied the allegations in court documents. So has the airline, which dismissed the incident as an "inappropriate attempt at humor" in a statement. more
UPDATE: A statement by the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association this week:
"Southwest
Airlines has never placed cameras and never videoed anyone in any
lavatory, and the pilots on Flight 1088 did not video anyone. The
incident, which occurred over two years ago, was a poor attempt at humor
where the pilot took a selfie video from the chest up, fully clothed,
in the lavatory of a completely different airplane months before Flight
1088 and then replayed the exact same selfie video on his iPad when Ms.
Steinaker came into the cockpit." more
