do you read in the cockpit?

[bafanguy]

Other than during a critical phase of flight, where is it published that reading in the cockpit is prohibited?

Peter,

It is most likely published in the company ops manual where requirements are carefully defined. You may not agree/like that, but if you signed on and agreed to abide by company policy...well, what can you say ?

You don't have to like the plan; you just have to live with it. The "plan" may allow for recreational reading on the flight deck. If so, no problem. If not...well, what can I say ?

Reading in the cockpit?
Just say,
"I gave upany thought of that the day a mooney buzzed 30ft below and ahead of me from my 2oclock to my 10 oclock, and while I was cranking and yanking 6Gs to avoid him he was obvliviously reading his Daily Telegram fully spread out in both hands and obviously on autopilot."
