Police are public employees, FAs are private employees.

Police officer's paychecks from from government taxes, FA's paychecks from from a private companies' earnings.

No, customers do not pay the FAs, they buy tickets from an airline. The airline pays the employees. You have been ripped off if you have been paying the FAs when you have been flying.

Which is completely irrelevant. FA's are not government employees.

If someone wants to stalk FA's by filming them, just ask the air carrier to amend its COC to permit it and you are free to contract for filming rights if the air carrier can negotiate that into its deal with the FA's or their union. It's called private enterprise. The difference between public and private.

Government Bailout of AA


My tax dollars went toward saving AA so as far as I'm concerned they're a public enterprise.

I believe it isnt who pays them...but rather where you film them. In a public space, with no 'expectation of privacy', you may film police and FAs.

In private spaces, they can make rules restricting this right. Airlines have done so.

In an airplane full of passengers, there is no expectation of privacy.

That's the funniest argument against the "two party consent" rules on aircraft which I hear so far.

People can get tossed from plane irrespective if they have done something wrong. If you manage to record them discreetly enough, I doubt that there is anything that can stop you from ever using the footage, especially not the CoC.

You can believe whatever you want. Good luck getting a court on side.
