Workers responsible for multi-million dollar machines and sometimes hundreds of human lives. I doubt anyone but the pilots care one bit about their on-the-job privacy.
- hef19898 3y agoI do. Because pilots being worried about what they say in the cockpit can have a negative impact on their reaction times, behaviour and crew management. All.of ehich can negatively impact flight safety. I want my pilots to feel comfortable while flying.
- paranoidrobot 3y agoThe privacy concerns can be mitigated by some rule changes. Mandate the 25hr recording duration. Mandate that full playback can only be done for accident investigation purposes By NTSB, unless requested by the crew(s). Some limited duration carve-out to allow maintenance crews to listen to last 15 mins to verify operation.
- hef19898 3y agoAgree. And I assume that in this case unions would oppose the 25 hour recordings.
- t0mas88 3y agoThe problem with your viewpoint is that all major air carriers are unionised. So the opinion of the unions on privacy is a lot more important than what "anyone but the pilots" thinks about it.
- mulmen 3y agoIs unionization really a problem though? I’m ok with the status quo where flight crews have a say in aviation safety but random Internet commenters don’t.
- t0mas88 3y agoNo not at all. I meant unions are a good thing here, giving flight crews a say in things affecting their workplace instead of random internet commenters deciding they would like to record everything.
