Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of “privacy” reasons. What do you think about it?

Does it matter which pilot flipped the switch though? The switches got flipped, maybe intentionally, maybe by accident. They already know when they got flipped, and have the audio of what they were doing at the time. So they can probably figure if it was possibly related to a procedure in progress. That’s about all they need. At best you might get evidence that it was intentional, which won’t save any lives, and will likely make people feel even worse.
Yes, because if you can figure out which part of the procedure broke down leading to that switch being flipped, you can figure out ways to prevent that from happening again. That’s much harder to do with just audio.
I’m not convince that requires video. Don’t they communicate out loud what they are doing so the other person knows? And if it was a mistake, what switch should they have hit that wasn’t recorded as being hit. They gotta do all that anyway.
