. With 229 deader than dead bodies on the bottom of the Atlantic, your "privacy" rights in the cockpit are severely challenged.

Video recording cams focused on the instrument panels of AF447 would have shown what was displayed on the F/Os screen, data that was NOT recorded by the FDR.

What did the F/O at the controls SEE on his display that would give investigators a clue as to why he may have pulled on his stick and climbed into a stall?
You seem to have misrepresented my arguments by clipping a quote.

I was only acknowledging other's arguments about privacy as a singular argument when in fact there are numerous other arguments of why cockpit cameras are not high on the wanted listed of safety improvements.

As to your specious argument above about saving lives regarding AF447 it would require a speculative conclusion about the causal factors let alone a design engineers understanding of just how to employ such a camera exactly as needed for each and every accident you deem it necessary to do so.
