Having long recordings is most important in cases where the plane doesn’t crash - if it crashes, the CVR will stop recording anyway.
So perhaps airlines should introduce a secondary CVR, that records for much longer, but isn’t as resilient? There’s plenty of cheap, consumer-grade equipment that would do the job fine.
