The pilot unions immediately switch off the auto-pilot and begin complaining how this would be a clear and abominable violation of their members' privacy rights. Do bankers, gas station attendants, convenience store clerks, jailers, blackjack dealers and doormen colnplain about cameras in their workplaces? Would we listen if they did? For the last four years, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) goal of putting video cameras in the cockpits of large commercial jets has been frustrated, in large part, by the efforts of the major pilot unions. This article will review the efforts by the NTSB and others to require video cameras in the cockpits of large transport category aircraft, discuss the arguments for and against this proposal, and conclude the time has coine for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to put safety first and follow the NTSB's five-year-old recommendation that it mandate video cameras in the cockpit.
