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.:cool: Air Safety Forum 288236-1 : C-SPAN Video Library | Created by Cable. Offered as a Public Service. |

More to the point, rather than monitoring pilot cockpit conversation, monitor senior airline CEO and FAA Bosses conversations.

This has deteriorated for 30+ years, and all the "connected" folk know it's really an extended game, played out for the Rubes. Sadly, it seems, now senior ALPA members have given in to the deteriorating status quo, and disaster after disaster will follow, and nobody cares, as long as connected peoples' bottom lines are protected.

And that'll be the last day I wear pants in the cockpit. Spot check that! |

Isn't that a direct violation of the FARS?
I even seem to remember an ATP written question specifically asking if cockpit voice recorders could be used in certificate or legal action. The FARs may prohibit the use of CVR/ASAP data in FAA enforcement action. This does NOT apply to civil or criminal law...the FARs CANNOT mandate how the outside legal system works. Only congress can do that, and then only within constitutional bounds. I believe that even if congress legally limited the use of CVR/ASAP data, some ambulance chaser would appeal the law all the way to the supreme court...and probably win. NOTHING is more important in this country than the inalienable right of some trailer park denizen to strike it rich with a big fat plaintiff lawsuit. |
Or find an easy way to place the blame...

I urge people to realize that most of this talk of rules changes and policy changes, in the aftermath of a crash, is just that. It's talk. The inertia against rule changes, and particularly any rule change that has an economic impact on the companies, such as large changes to flight and duty time regulations, is just not going to happen. |
