On many accident threads where it is clear the facts are not known or in dispute there are those who argue for better cockpit recording of everything the crew did before the accident.

Then there are others (usually aircrew) who raise all sorts of reasons why that would be a bad thing.

I spent years having my actions recorded (on a transport aircraft as well as fast jets) so I have in the past tried to explain why I liked that since if I pranged it could show it was not my fault. In true PPRuNe style I got burned for such comments.

Now with this accident we have every possible recording of what happened not just on the accident TO but many others before during that sortie. What a privilege it was to read how well the crew conducted themselves at all times. They were so good one could only feel that given their background and behaviour the problem would have got any crew.
