If you’re flying Southwest you might want to keep your pants on.  A Southwest Airlines attendant claims she saw two pilots watching livestream video of the plane’s lavatory during a 2017 flight.

Renee Steinaker says she noticed the livestream on a cockpit iPad while the captain took a bathroom break. She further claims the panicked co-pilot told her it was a new high-security measure on Southwest planes, but Steinaker didn’t buy it and snapped a cellphone pic of the iPad.

According to her attorney:

“They led her to believe that she and others had been filmed—had been videotaped if you will—while they were using the lavatory. It’s really hard to imagine a more outrageous kind of conduct.”

Steinaker further alleges the pilots—Capt. Terry Graham and co-pilot Ryan Russell—broke protocol by disembarking the plane “unattended by piloting staff” and Graham “left a loaded firearm unattended in the cockpit, a violation of FAA regulations.”

According to Steinaker, she told other attendants and airline personnel about the livestream and was warned to keep quiet. Seems the airline responded by bullying her and other attendants with unjustified tests and performance audits, and stalked them in a “threatening and bizarre manner.”

Attorneys for the pilots deny all accusations, and the airline says “Southwest does not place cameras in the lavatories of our aircraft.”
