A quick Google search yielded this link: grangier.fr from which it would appear that as of one year ago, not much had happened on this front. A qoute from the link: Nonetheless, the idea of cameras in the cockpits drew strong opposition from airline pilots. John David of the Allied Pilots Association, which represents pilots at American Airlines, said having a camera monitor everything they do would affect their ability to perform. The Air Line Pilots Association, the largest pilots union, issued a statement saying "the benefits of video imaging are vastly overrated, because far more effective and efficient tools exist." Pilots object to the idea because they're concerned about their privacy and they fear that images, unlike technical data, can give rise to subjective interpretations of pilots' actions in the seconds before a crash. John Cox, executive air safety chairman of the ALPA, said cameras in cockpit would be a waste of money.
