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

    Exactly, I’m torn on this because as a privacy advocate it’s a nightmare, but for safety reasons I think it might be helpful. I think that if the video recording is solely for the FAA to look at in the event of a crash like a black box, and not the employer, then maybe? There was an article recently about retail employees having to wear cameras and I thought that sounded like a disaster. It’s super dystopian having to wear a camera so that big brother can watch you and make sure you’re doing every little thing correctly at your job. If the company has access I have the feeling that’s exactly what it would be used for.
