ACP368 How Social Media Can Ruin Your Career 

Thank you. Fly Safe!

Thanks, will do!

There are many times people commit crimes and post themselves committing the crime on social media. The aspect that fascinates me is determining why a person would take such action.

@@AviationCareersPodcast i know of an ATC that posted some pictures of an illegal deer he killed. The game warden saw it and his house was raided. I'm sure he was charged and fined heavily.

There is much to unpack in this statement. First, a person might get terminated for lying and then need to argue the “mental health” reason. Second, since there are mental health requirements to maintain a medical this could affect the medical. It is a good idea to run this by a union rep, career counselor, or an aviation attorney for unbiased advice concerning calling in sick for a mental health reason. I would be interested in researching those who called in sick for a mental health day and see how it affected their job.

Thank you. There are many sites offering stock video. I like this review of stock video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yVXwyrUm61s.htmlsi=J1otHAsOWpFyQleQ

The crew member can always ask to have a video reviewed. My experience is most of the time they advise against posting most videos. Of course there are some who have been given authorization in the past but this is not very common.

That depends on the recruiter reading your comments and the nature of your comments. When posting on line there is a chance a recruiter will read your comments. It is a good rule of thumb to only post online comments that you would not have a problem with a recruiter asking about in an interview.

That is true until but the forum can be required to disclose the identity in a legal proceeding. Furthermore, it can be obvious at times who is posting. It is amazing what you can find out about someone through anonymous posts.
