Ah, the joys of allowing software in the cockpit.
Nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong.
And we still have no updates on that 787 crash in India...

I thought the resolution on that one was pretty clear.

50-50 Software “glitch” or cockpit error. The fly data recorder should resolve the issue. Far better to have an occasional unnecessary deployment than miss one necessary deployment.

Yeah, it's a mystery why both engines quit after the fuel cutoff switches were intentionally thrown...

Preliminary report indicates that the Captain intentionally crashed it. Suicide.

I suspect that is deep into the backgrounds of the pilots trying to figure out which one turned off the fuel.

Software has been in the cockpit since the 1970s.

I see tons of computer failures on the ground. Almost every day in varied situations ..
“Oh, the computer is acting very slow... can’t finish this transaction..”
“Hmmm..the information is supposed to be on this screen”

You should see how bad it is in healthcare systems....most times ok, but potentially catastrophic other times. Problem is most users implicitly trust in the information. Why I always get a printout.
