Agreed,
However,
There seems to be a prevailing disposition, it is almost a mob clamoring, in that public opinion, always goes along with whatever sounds like a solution. This is a major problem for us as a society as a whole. While now that it might be apparent, that your presently respected privacy and actions, recorded on a CVR, may now be instrumental toward something not good happening to you, is of no consequence. Why is that? It is because we let this stuff happen by always being the "good pilot" with his mouth shut, and his eyes open, always keeping a low profile, staying below the radar of management and out of trouble.
The way I see it is that we as a group should be more opinionated, and on occasion, take a stand, on our own, without ALPA, but that is just too riskaay for most of us, is it not?
Yet Colgan still gets to fly under Continental's code share, and business is as usual when it comes sweat shop regional tactics, so they can make the big Money. The FAA still continues to be wooed by lobbyists.

What if?
Check out the image recorders the NTSB wants: Aviation Issues
I took a few aircraft accident investigation classes at Riddle and they said this was the "future" especially for general aviation. I know when CVR's were first put into place, all the pilots threw a fit because it was looked at as spying but they were promised it would only be used for accident investigations. Jerry Lederer, the Grandfather of Aviation safety was instrumental in the inaction of the FDR, and yet again pilots were opposed. Then FOQA comes along and you guys get further scrutinized. Seems like if you even farted in a sterile cockpit someone would flip out. ASRS is an amazing safety tool and works for one reason: confidentiality. I love aviation safety and the practice of it but allowing companies to spy on you will do nothing for safety only distrust. Ridiculous Ridiculous Ridiculous.
"Corporate culture has a very real influence on the attitudes and performance of the people within an organization there is no question in my mind that management decisions and actions, or more frequently, indecision's and inaction's, cause accidents." -John Lauber, NTSB
