So if the mechanics union takes two hours of time to retrieve the device then that's a solid.

  No, why? In case of an incident, circuit breakers are pulled, and the data isn't over written. Also, I am not sure if the CVDR is recoring while the plane is switched off on the ground. By the way, the union isn't retrieving anything, the maintenance people are.

    Maintenance union then. It does not take a genius to see the incentives playing out. All it takes is a pilot saying "fuck these shitty planes I'm never flying one again"... err Earl can you go take one of your legendary shits and then go get the flight recorder? Wink You got it boss! Wink Really I didn't mean to make a dig at unions because you can get those same incentives without a union, however the pilots union is arguing against longer recorder times.

      And if ypu wpuld care to read the details, you'd see why. Labour protection is a lot weaker in the US, and pilots are already worling under shitty conditions to begin with there as well. Handing over a 100% surveillance right to employers under these conditions actually does seem like a bad idea.
