Can FDX pilots read in the cockpit domestic v international?

[Diesel]

Just wondering is there anything in the FDX FOM that says you can read non aviation/company related material in the cockpit? Domestic versus international flight? Thanks trying to settle a bet.

If you want PM me with the section/page number.

Never have heard of such a rule, aside from sterile cockpit times, obviously.

Jiminy Christmas! What else are you going to do on a 12-hour flight in the dark? Study your limitations?

There's nothing that says you can't read.

Are you serious with this Question ?.

I'm actually not sure if there is anything in the F.A.R.s or our
manual forbidding reading (I know, I should get on the ball and
find out, LoL), but as a Captain, I discourage reading non-
aviation stuff on flights. There's too much to keep track of and
watch out for. I'd rather see a non-flying pilot snooze, at least
he/she's getting rest

You must be a joy to fly with.

If you fly with Captain Oveur just make sure that whatever you are reading does not stick out over the top of the FAR/AIMS it is nestled into.

ABX's FOM forbids reading. But those that are awake usually do.

I think I'll start a magazine with naked chicks and airplanes.
