Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of “privacy” reasons. What do you think about it?

    In cab recording is becoming increasingly common in some industries. For instance, the US trucking industry.

    I would argue that the effectiveness depends a lot on the goals and attitude behind it. If the goal is to penalize the operator (driver/pilot/engineer/etc.) for every single infraction then it’s just a huge waste of money. If the goal is to retain the best operators and help build a culture of safety then I can potentially see some value there.

      Its brought in for safety reasons, all very valid and worthwhile, and 2 weeks later theyre watching the cameras live and giving pilots disciplinary meetings for drinking water on company time.
