Why fix what "worked"?
For the record, I don't think that Airline software works since about 20% of flights are always late. I avoid airplanes at all cost for this reason, mainly. I once had a plane trip taking more then 24 hours when it could have taken 6h and there was no major problems like today (I ended up spending new year at the airport)... no thanks. Traveling by car would have taken about the same amount of time.
