I'm sure everyone has seen the advertisements, the solicitation for volunteers, for the "Human Performance Initiative — Be All You Can Be!" cosponsored by Corporate Safety and our MEC chairman. (Funny, seems like an endorsement from our Association Safety Committee might be appropriate.)

The description of the project is quite vague.
I'm told participants will wear some sort of headband which will monitor physical responses, and the entire event will be "recorded" to evaluate the pilot throughout the event. It is not clear to me whether the recording will be a simple video camera, or more sophisticated eye movement tracker or monitor.

Given the FDX Chairman's interest in single-pilot Operations, it's not hard to draw a line between these "safety" studies and a plan to replace one pilot with a video camera to monitor the other one.


I'm told there will be an MEC Conference call tomorrow. Your Block Rep might be interested in your opinion about putting cameras in our cockpits.

If I make it to a major and they replace the FO with a camera I quit. Haha

 

You will be fired because you will be the camera.

 

Alright, I’ll bite; when, to who, in what context and what are the thoughts regarding Single Pilot Ops that were expressed by our MEC Chairman.

Can’t put that one out there without elebaorating.

 

For a second there, I thought I had made a typographical error.

Read it again; FDX Chairman, not MEC Chairman.

Whew.

I always assumed that a cockpit camera would turn into a new hat rack!

Like the shame picture of the crew departing the EFC “early.”

Ah, no thanks.
