Reply to comment by c53x12 in Plume-like cloud ‘shot’ in front of Hawaiian Airlines flight seconds before turbulence injured 25, pilot says by MajentaPinkPanther

I'm kinda shocked there isn't any forward camera for accountability. Planes are mostly flown by instrument readings so there's not usually a lot to see up there.

Accountability is exactly the reason we don't have them.

Pilot unions have been fighting cockpit video recorders for years.

Seems like a no-brainer especially for near-misses on the ground.
