FAA chief urges pilots to read Flight 3407 transcript
By Jerry Zremski
News Washington Bureau Chief
WASHINGTON — The new head of the Federal Aviation Administration today asked the nation's airline pilots to read the transcript of the cockpit conversations from Continental Connection Flight 3407, which crashed in Clarence in February, claiming 50 lives.
"If you haven't read the transcript, I'd encourage you to do so," FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said at the Air Line Pilots Association's annual Air Safety Summitt. . . .
Babbitt also indicated for the first time that he would be willing to consider random spot checks of cockpit voice recorders in planes that do not crash, just to monitor whether sterile cockpit violations are occurring.
Really gotta love that last paragraph. Sets a dangerous precedent.

Read the transcript of Babbitt's speech yourself here.
My opinion? Mr. Zremski just made that CVR stuff up, and you guys all bought into it hook, line, and sinker.
This is what happens when you mix the media with a forum - BS runs rampant.

BTW, here was one of the NTSB recommendations from the 3701 crash:
Convene a multidisciplinary panel of operational, training, and human factors specialists to study and submit a report on methods to improve flight crew familiarity with and response to stickpusher systems and, if warranted, establish training requirements for stickpusher-equipped airplanes based on the findings of this panel.
