Flight recorders should not be on the flight they record = dumb and dumber

It seems quite crazy to carry the voice and data flight recorders on board the aircraft which is being recorded.   

GE uses satellites to capture all their jet engine operational data - engine temp, rpms, oil pressure, etc. etc.  

Every aircraft should upload realtime data to satellites - then if there were any problem - we wouldn't need to search undersea or on an Alpine hillside for a box.
