I’ve never understood this – I figured it must be because of pilot unions or something along the lines. It’s archaic that we physically search for black boxes rather than have it streamed. And to that point, why not have it video recorded as well? It’s a common practice across many professions – how there can be any justification against it?

ATC here. Are you talking about us listening to the conversations or just a digital log? Because I can tell you when we’re busy, frequency congestion becomes a real problem, and that’s just us giving clearances. If we had to listen to every plane constantly, it would actually cause more problems than it would solve.
