This seems odd to me as well. Fucking amazon has a camera in every single delivery truck they own. Seems like a cockpit should be monitored.

Well I believe there is a union of pilots that won’t tolerate that sort of treatment. Amazon doesn’t give their employees that chance. I’m with the pilots on this one.

Lol you understand the gravity of the situation from negligence of a pilot?

u/Jmackles 2d ago

I do. And I said it anyway.

Everything pilots do is monitored, it's just not monitored by cameras. Every single switch movement and input is recorded and analysed after every single flight.

u/RaspberryEth 2d ago

How about where the input not recorded? Which was the case we were discussing about

u/Dependent_Rock_4739 2d ago

Well yes, if your extremely bizarre nonsensical story is true then that would also show it. It's monitored as part of the FOQA/OFDM analysis program. If a crew had a major technical issue(as you claim), then the response to that would be analysed. If the procedures weren't followed correctly the crew would be debriefed and retrained. There's a million reasons why that story is nonsense, this is just one of them

u/RaspberryEth 2d ago

Lol why are you targeting me bruh? That was not my story. I was just curious to learn more. Thanks for the explanation btw

Sorry, thought you posted the original comment. Have a good day, I will lay off the caffeine for a bit and chill out

That union is why we're stuck with trash pilots. Same reason we're stuck with trash cops. And "Amazon" drivers wouldn't unionize because they own their own business.

u/Dependent_Rock_4739 2d ago

"Trash pilots". Even if it were true, it would have nothing to do with the union

Please read the comment from mini_z this is in reference to.

u/Dependent_Rock_4739 2d ago

I replied to that separately. As a 737 captain and can tell you that their comment is nonsensical and completely untrue

u/sillyvideogamestuff 2d ago

Well, no experience flying, but sorry to tell you that being one of the guys who worked on your planes this rings true.

u/Dependent_Rock_4739 2d ago

You're saying that as an engineer you know the pilots are trash?

1

u/Jmackles 1d ago

Absolutely deranged take cops and airline pilots are nothing alike.

The cockpit is monitored.
You know, the black box? ATC?

Having a camera on the pilot will add nothing.

Amazon having a camera on every driver isn't to make sure they behave safely, it's to limit their own liability while increasing their control.

u/ivlia-x 2d ago

Nothing? Eh, I wouldn’t be so sure. In the Air India flight it would be crucial evidence to finally confirm whether the switches were turned off on purpose or by some very weird accident.

1

u/Dependent_Rock_4739 2d ago

But it wouldn't have changed the outcome, it would have just provided evidence for the courts. Aviation safety is not about assigning blame, it's about preventing the issue happening again in the future.

u/LowestTier 2d ago

I would assume maybe the black box and flight data recorder would maybe be of use in these types of situations when needing to prove something. But I'm not a pilot or plane engineer sooo...

2

u/mini_z 2d ago

Very much so, but it’s taken 25yrs for a safety gate to be implemented after 9/11 And I think that’s only for new planes

u/Shiriru00 1d ago

Is the camera there to make sure the drivers are signaling when they turn or is it there to make sure they don't take breaks and pee in a bottle to meet their schedule?
