CONF iture, jcjeant;
I don't wish to divert the thread into yet another rabbit trail but from your comments I don't think you know much about media, especially American media.
Your responses tell me that you are too closely focussed on your particular issues with the BEA and Airbus and quasi-conspiratorial theories to permit a broadly-based understanding of media.
Regardless gentlemen, the debate concerning cockpit video has been done to death even at PPRuNe. My thought was, instead of providing the go-to for the PPRuNe discussion for slats11, I provided some of the well-known and accepted reasons why cockpit video is likely a non-starter, only some of which relate to the issues surrounding media.
