I do. Because pilots being worried about what they say in the cockpit can have a negative impact on their reaction times, behaviour and crew management. All.of ehich can negatively impact flight safety. I want my pilots to feel comfortable while flying.

The privacy concerns can be mitigated by some rule changes.

Mandate the 25hr recording duration.

Mandate that full playback can only be done for accident investigation purposes By NTSB, unless requested by the crew(s). Some limited duration carve-out to allow maintenance crews to listen to last 15 mins to verify operation.

Agree. And I assume that in this case unions would oppose the 25 hour recordings.

Too latebto edit: I mean Union wpupd NOT oppose 25 hour recordings, if privacy and labor concerns would be properly adressed.

Indeed. This is how it works in Europe, with a 25 hour recording requirement for aircraft manufactured after 2021.
