....recordings "be monitored for safety purposes by selected union and company pilots."
And who selects these "union and company pilots"?
Who determines whether they are even competent to judge, from listening to a sound track that even after a crash is often extremely difficult to transcribe properly?
Would we now have "selected union and company pilots" being paid to spend hundreds of hours to listen to cockpit sounds, trying to pick out the occasional drivel being talked?

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
Who monitors those "monitors"?

As mentioned, if this imbecilic idea takes root, there'll be an awful lot of 'erase' buttons pressed, and an awful lot of CBs pulled....
