A little off topic - but along the same lines at the same time. I saw a news story about a new camera and sound system that police in Cincinnatti are utilizing. It is a video camera worn around the ear that films everything the police officer does and is used for review. The cops are also mic'ed up so everything said is recorded too. I know in many cases that the dashboard cams and video cameras in the police station have helped refute more police brutality claims they have proven (a fact often not given any attention), but I just thought that this showed that the pilot communtiy wasn't the only profession that is going down the road of constant monitoring.
Good luck fighting this guys.

The difference between the cop's system and the proposed system is that ours would be remotely monitored at all times. Police are mic'd up but unless there's an issue, no one ever hears the tapes - like our CVR's. The Sgt's or Lt's on the police force can't access the tapes at random times from their desk at HQ.

I thought this issue gave them access to randomly select CVRs to listen too and the FDR data can already be looked at, but the identities are hidden correct?
As for the cop's system. It didn't say how they would be monitored, but with the few friends and family members that I have in law enforcement - thier actions seem to garner more attention than most pilot's. hardly a week goes by without someone complaining about a cop's actions it seems.
The point of my post was not who had it harder FDX - it was the point that there seems to be a lot of monitoring in these times to come. It just may be the wave of the future. Who knows what is next.

You are correct that big brother does appear to be the wave of the future and that is what we are fighting against.

And I have come to the conclusion that some of us like getting bent over on a daily basis.

This is reallly a bad idea, but unlike our approach to age 65, maybe we should get out in front of this one and shape it in a way that works for us rather than against us. Assuming it's inevitable as some have said.
