Why are flight attendants prohibited from taking pictures with passengers?

The bad news is, they simply didn’t want to take a photo with you, that’s it. That’s the common excuse flight attendants use when they don’t want to take a photo with someone. To prove this, check this Facebook photo album, in one of the most famous cabin crew groups in Facebook (I don’t own it). You will see many photos for Emirates cabin crew with passengers. Check other albums as well, you will find the same.

The rejection could also be due to the fact that it’s during the boarding, it’s somehow a critical time. So, next time ask in a better time, like after service for example.

Emirates, as well as all other airlines (AFAIK), has no rules regarding taking photos while on uniform, whether it’s with passengers, celebrities, in planes, in airports, etc. It’s considered a free publicity. Of course, as long as the photo is “fine” and not degrading by any means.

I am aware of one airline that totally prohibits this, which is Qatar airways. A photo with uniform has one punishment, that is termination, no exception for that except for the official photos by the airline itself. All the unofficial photos for Qatar crew members are published by their owners after they leave Qatar. This is a source of jokes actually among the cabin crew community.
