Lawsuit: Southwest pilots streamed video from bathroom cam
PHOENIX — A lawsuit filed against Southwest Airlines by a flight attendant alleges pilots on a 2017 flight had an iPad streaming video from a hidden camera in a bathroom in one of the airline's jets.The lawsuit alleges flight attendant Renee Steinaker saw an iPad streaming video from the plane's forward bathroom when she entered the cockpit to be the required second person in the cockpit when the pilot left to use the bathroom about 2.5 hours into a Feb. 27, 2017, flight to Phoenix from Pittsburgh.According to the suit, Steinaker saw the pilot in the streaming video on the iPad and the co-pilot "with a panicked look on his face" acknowledged that the iPad was streaming from a camera in the bathroom but asserted it was a "new security and top-secret security measure installed in all of Southwest's Boeing 737-800 planes."The suit said Steinaker took a cellphone photo of the iPad video, provided the photo with a report to Southwest management and was warned by a supervisor to not tell anybody about the incident.According to the suit, Steinaker was warned, "if this got out, if this went public, no one, I mean no one, would ever fly our airline again."Court filings by attorneys for Dallas-based Southwest and the two pilots denied the live streaming allegations, and Southwest issued a brief statement Saturday saying it would not comment in detail on the suit but denied placing cameras in the lavatories in aircraft."The safety and security of our employees and customers is Southwest's uncompromising priority," the statement said.The suit against Southwest and the two pilots was announced Saturday by attorneys for Steinaker and her husband, also a Southwest flight attendant.The suit was originally filed on behalf of the Steinakers, who live in metro Phoenix, in an Arizona state court in October 2018 and was moved in late August to federal court in Phoenix.An attorney for the couple, Ronald L.
