Not to defend the pilots involved in this incident but I have to agree with DaveReidUK on this issue...
There are no Canadian rules that stipulate that a CVR or DFDR must be saved after an event like this.
There are no company (Air Canada) rules that stipulate that a CVR or DFDR must be saved after an event like this.
Let us not forget that this was simply a missed approach followed by a normal landing by those two pilots (in their minds) regardless of what we now know to be the truth in how close to a disaster this could have been.
