fa2fi,
Many of us pilots are against video cameras in the flight deck to avoid our last moments being filmed.
That has to be one of the most bizarre comments I have heard from a professional pilot (Other than in jest when, amongst professionals, esp mil, anything goes).

I never intended to have my 'last moments' on the flight deck of a public transport aircraft nor, I'm sure, did any of my colleagues.

I have frequently been filmed in the sim and a good training aid it is to confirm that the stude did something which, at debrief, he fails to recollect

We thought that the CVR would be intrusive but everyone now accepts it as a great diagnostic and I don't recollect it repressing robust social comment on the flight deck.

Provided that the use of audio and video recordings is rigidly controlled ONLY to be used by accident investigators then I have no objection to either. Simply make it a criminal offense for the operator to intentionally view or listen.
