Re:Boeing Believed a 737 Max Warning Light Was Standard by Nasrudith on Monday May 06, 2019 @08:01AM (#19838583)
The really sociopathic part is the upselling of it as a separate feature when the actual marginal costs are nill. It is one thing if they have to retrofit it but the 737 is newer - just doing it the most expensive option seems like it should give the most logistical savings and be the best for long term profit. I mean people look at the safety record and a crash makes them look bad even if it was pilot error.

Yeah, that's jarring - it's not even that Boeing has to put in extra parts or even extra software. It's just flipping a switch in the software.
