We've had this discussion before. But it seems this must be asked again: can you not hold altitude/heading/course/airspeed without the Autopilot?? I sure the heck can. Silly argument it is. Give it a rest and stop denigrating our professional skills, Tin...!

Holy Quote Batman ...
"It's not that unusual for a pilot to be looking at a laptop in cruise flight," Emilio Corsetti III, a 30-year commercial pilot with American Airlines who has written numerous magazine articles about aviation.
Oh really? I've never, ever seen anyone use a computer in-flight.
Quotes like this are wreckless to our profession.

Sorry but no...check Part 91 App G. Common misconception (why? I thought pilots should want to find excuses to fly an airplane), but at least one "automatic altitude control system" must be available. NOT in use. If you haven't hand-flown at altitude, you probably ought to...it is irresponsible to spend so much time in cruise in this thin air and have not the faintest clue as to how the aircraft handles. Throw in some mountain-wave activity and I guarantee you you'll find a healthy respect for the skill required.

I really don't think the cameras will happen as a result of the NWA event. If cameras are introduced I think it will be for safety reasons and the same safeguards that exist for the CVR and FDR would, I believe, apply.
However, IF cameras are introduced, I bet there would be some sort of rule (FAR?) that purposely blocking the lens would be a violation of some sort.
Just my opinion, of course.

I think pilots could agree to cameras if the Doctors, teachers, politicians, law enforcement and lawyers agree to being on camera every minute they are on the job.
By the way, we will agree to not making any of the filmed or recorded media available to the public. These professions are responsible for the short and long term physical and mental health of those that are in their charge.
The agreement to use recordings of pilots included the guarantee that only the safety investigators would have access to the same.
This promise was almost, er, pretty much, er, usually, er, except for a good reason, er.......... Of course ALPA backed this up, er they did not. The agreement for safety investigation, need to know basis, was continually compromised.
If all professions agree, pilots should also, no other exceptions. There are many examples of voice recordings made public, this is just one example.
Check out the other voice recordings available on the web to the right of the web page. Do not trust the promises of those basta.. who want the camera.
Cameras should not be allowed, nationwide shutdown, if they try to push it.
