From today's Mercury News article, looks like it will be a while before the video is released in the NTSB incident docket:

According to the NTSB initial findings, federal investigators interviewed the Air Canada captain on Friday and will interview the first officer on Tuesday. Air traffic controllers were interviewed at SFO and Northern California TRACON, the regional hub, on Sunday and those will continue through Wednesday.

Federal officials have recovered the aircraft’s flight data recorder and security camera video from SFO of the incident approach. The NTSB says that video will be released once the public docket for this incident is opened in the next several months.
SFO near-miss: Air Canada flew over plane before aborting

Conspicuously absent is any mention of the cockpit voice recorder, my guess is that the crew 'forgot' to pull the circuit breaker. An honest mistake.

Far as we know there were at least two pilots. If their union dues are up to date they probably will get some extra sims and a line check and resume their scheduled trips. If the CVR is missing they can't gig them for missing checklists and callouts, right?
