Flight attendant Renee Steinaker (pictured) is suing Southwest Airlines after she allegedly witnessed two pilots livestreaming video from an airplane lavatory to the cockpit in February 2017A flight attendant who is suing Southwest after she allegedly saw two pilots livestreaming video from a plane lavatory to the cockpit claims she was ordered not to go public - while the company has insisted the incident was nothing more than a bad joke. Renee Steinaker filed a lawsuit in Arizona federal court over the alleged act of voyeurism she witnessed on a flight from Pittsburgh to Phoenix in February 2017. Steinaker said that when she confronted one of the pilots about the bathroom live feed playing on an iPad in the cockpit, he informed her that the hidden cameras had been installed on all Southwest planes. When she raised the issue with Southwest at the time, Steinaker said one official told her: 'If this got out, if this went public, no one, I mean no one, would ever fly our airline again.' Southwest firmly denied Steinaker's allegations in a statement to DailyMail.com on Sunday and vowed to 'vigorously defend' against the lawsuit. 'When the incident happened two years ago, we investigated the allegations and addressed the situation with the crew involved,' an airline spokesperson said. 'We can confirm from our investigation that there was never a camera in the lavatory; the incident was an inappropriate attempt at humor which the company did not condone.' The airline has not responded to DailyMail.com's request for clarification about the 'inappropriate attempt at humor'. Southwest Airlines is prepared to 'vigorously defend' against a flight attendant's lawsuit accusing two pilots livestreamed video from an airplane bathroom In an additional statement, a spokesperson said: 'The safety and security of our employees and customers is Southwest's uncompromising priority. As such, Southwest does not place cameras in the lavatories of our aircraft. 'At this time, we have no other comment on the pending litigation.' Attorneys for both pilots have denied that the pair livestreamed from the lavatory or violated airline policy in any way.
