There is no evidence it will save lives, you're just exhibiting signs of poor social development by not understanding why this is an issue and being to stubborn

  I don’t know how loud it is inside a 737 flight deck, but it seems like a reasonably foreseeable outcome of this proposal is that people would start trying to figure out ways to make idle chitchat without going through the headsets. Which would negatively affect safety: if an emergency were to happen during the chitchat, either headsets would need to be readjusted and enabled as the first step of managing it or the emergency might start being dealt with without going through the CVR. I work on larger UAS systems where we don’t have any form of mandatory recording for the FAA. We do have wireless headsets that we use for comms between the pilot, the GCS operator, the flight director, and whatever engineering support staff are on the ground. The system would allow us to record pretty trivially but we’ve debated this and explicitly decided that we get more value from being able to keep the communication as candid as possible instead of having to worry about having every word we say over comms scrutinized if there’s an incident.
