(CNN) - A Southwest Airlines flight attendant says two pilots live streamed video from a hidden camera in a commercial airliner's lavatory to an iPad in the cockpit, a lawsuit says. Terry Graham asked for a flight attendant to come to the cockpit so that he could leave to use the restroom, the complaint says. After Steinaker arrived and Graham left, Steinaker spotted an iPad in the plane's cockpit that appeared to be streaming live video of the pilot inside an airplane lavatory, the lawsuit said. In its written response, Southwest denied Graham or Russell "intentionally invaded the privacy of Plaintiff Renee Steinaker on Southwest Airlines flight 1088 by installing, viewing, watching, recording and/or playing recordings of plaintiff while she was using the forward lavatory's toilet." When reached by CNN on Saturday, a spokesperson with Southwest Airlines declined to comment on the lawsuit but said the airline does not place cameras in the plane's lavatories.
