Carjockey,

I tried to distinguish between your comment and the quotes from the article by using quotation marks on the material from the article. Sorry, I should have made it more clear.

What bothered me were the references to keeping an eye on the passenger cabin, and cameras on the engines, which in no way address the oft-discussed issues about FBW/AP problems. Being "... physically isolated from the passengers and any difficulties that may be occurring within the passenger section of the plane. They are isolated from most of the physical structures of the aircraft" is a happenstance that's been with us since the 1930s, and not part of the equation at all.

Apologies if you found my criticism to be offensive. If corrected by one of the awesome line pilots here, I will grovel as required.
