And those CVR's were only allowed after their use in discipline/enforcement was outlawed by statute.
So why can't a similar use of cockpit video recorders be outlawed too? This wouldn't impact the safety aspect of these cameras in post-crash investigations and would seem a sensible compromise. Even though I personally fail to see any reason for pilots to expect some super privacy. Isn't a cockpit camera (with discipline use allowed) similar to riding with a check pilot every time?
Paying passengers on some airlines are routinely observed by a video camera from the cockpit door - should I expect my nose picking onboard the plane to appear on youtube too?
