SLF here.

I regret to observe that those who never leave the ranch (board members and their lawyers) will always seek to rely on automation / computers / equipment / machines / etc. to do their job for them.

If they were on top of their jobs in recruitment, training and supporting crew in a unique job (which they do not properly understand) then they would not need to shout for ever more machines to cover their @rse.

So - this WILL happen and it will spread around the globe. The only hope is that, once the equipment is being developed - you can at least get some cameras in the hold etc. The weight of these is now down to a few grams and the extra hard disk storage required is, again, very light and cheap. So, doubtless, mgmt will find other reasons to say no.
