>I think those that dismiss this concern entirely are the folks who cannot think critically I will absolutely, unreservedly dismiss the concern of a pilot for privacy in the cockpit because I can think critically. The notion that someone deserves privacy in the cockpit of commercial aircraft is outrageously silly and utterly indefensible. Pilot your own personal aircraft if you want that privacy. And there is absolutely an "Overton window", but it is wrong to think that whatever way it moves is a regression or worsening (which is the classic "everything is always getting worse" melodrama). Sometimes the way things are is not rational or optimized, but just are. The 2 hour thing was nothing but a technical limit (a literal loop of magnetic tape), and every other justification is retconning.
