I agree that the crew should feel free to chat. And when there is an accident, they should expect that the recordings are kept.

- reciprocity 3y agoThis rule applies to the taxiing, takeoff, and descent into landing phases of flight only. It isn't enforced above 10k feet. Idle chatter is important for numerous reasons in any professional working environment and it isn't a reasonable conclusion to say that it should not be allowed in this one. It's also unfathomably unreasonable to call for storage of all voice recordings of the flight deck in perpetuity. That's ridiculous and is privacy invading. If you want to improve the state of this industry, you are looking in the wrong place.
- mcculley 3y agoI did not argue for "storage of all voice recordings of the flight deck in perpetuity". I argued against what is "accepted by the crew" being considered.
