Video would definitively show whether either pilot moved these switches or if some other mechanism caused the movement. The aviation industry has consistently resisted cockpit video recording despite decades of available technology. The pilot unions argue privacy concerns, but cases like this demonstrate the value it would have. Current audio captured the pilots' denials, but without visual confirmation we may never be able to definitively determine who turned the engines off.
Is this really the reason they object video recording in the cockpit ?
If so I agree it's not a good enough reason.
Please provide sources for your claims.
Which claim? It is self-evident that video footage would show if a pilot turned the engines off intentionally or accidentally.
The pilot's union opposes cockpit video recording for silly reasons.
