Probably one of those web developers hooking into a JavaScript library that'll be dead in 3 months.

Once was in a plane where the pilot announced they had pulled the program module in and out and now displays worked again and they're ready for takeoff. I sat back and accepted my fate.

Remember when Boeing purists were complaining about Airbus relying this much on technology?

They should’ve purchased the “navigation content” add-on.

From the company that gave us the almost indestructible B-17 😲
It's ok, they can just look out the window

Oh don’t be a drama queen, just look out the window.

Tesla is what happens when techies try to build cars. Boeing is what happens when aerospace hires techies to build airplanes. "Move fast and break things", but also aerospace corporation failures.

Boeing is the living proof to “you pay peanuts, you get monkeys”. Next time someone tells you there’s a developer out there that can do your job for $9/hour, remind him that the same developer also works for Boeing.

It's okay, it only affects operators that have paid the extra to have screens in the first place.
