Cockpit TV testing to start in UK?

as reported in AVflash today

UK authorities want to start testing the benefits of filming the cockpit of commercial airlines, but they're running into a little opposition. Many pilots are opposed to the plan and have threatened to strike if the Civil Aviation Authority implements
the idea. In general, pilots are concerned the tapes could be used against them or might wind up as a public broadcast following a crash. Cockpit cameras are already on the NTSB's "most-wanted list" of safety improvements.
