I know FDRs and QARs can be readily used to identify hard landings, overspeeds, and other events that warrant further maintenance action, but that strikes me as rather benign and justifiable.
Are there any anecdotal tales of management abuse of flight crew stemming from QAR downloads?
The CVoxR has an Erase Button. Doesn't that mitigate the "abuse" aspect?
Are there operators that threaten their flight crew with punitive action should they discover a CVR erased after an uneventful flight?
Why can't the CVidR have a like function?
