I see a lot of investigations spend years digging through the black box to determine things that would have been obvious if a camera was involved in the cockpit.
In: Technology
Bigger airlines do have cameras throughout the cabins that are recording on shown on a screen in the flight deck. So smile. Cameras in the flight deck observing the pilots is an invasion of privacy. That would be like having your employer keeping your face facing camera on all time recording you and monitoring every key input and mouse scroll and IP data on your work computer. No one wants that.
Besides all flight data is recorded to FOQA as well as the FDR. If a pilot goes beyond a plane limitation the pilots get a call as soon as the parking brake is set. Data is monitored in real time now days. Pilots are monitored and scrutinized far more than you think.
Any conclusion about an issue can be made easy enough with all the data without a camera.
