kewl. this might be a chance to throw in a little quantum mechanics.

hats of to bud burner and especially wildc@rd. When it comes to these sort of questions we will always fall back to relativity... because relativity is more relative than anything else!

Would light act in the same way as a person going to the toilet on a jet?

for this i guess it would require a greater understanding of how light behaves on a sub-atomic scale (is it more waves or traveling particles?). It's not qute the same as for sound. But asuming it did have a similar relativity to sound, then of course we would see the light in the cockpit... much the same as we HEAR co-pilots in a jet fighter or concorde. and once you realise this you understand that of course light acts in the same way! EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE, in a purely Space-Time concept.
