“Its always fixed.”

No, it isn’t. Sometimes big software projects are so bad, they’re eventually abandoned, especially when the government is involved. See the FBI’s Virtual Case File software project that was so bad, they just gave up and abandoned it, after spending $170 million. Mega-software projects entail tremendous complexity and risk, and it doesn’t always pay off.

Usually, when planes start falling from the sky or their is a major malfunction in the cockpit its a sign there is a software problem.Pilots want their machine to be 100 percent condition.

It does not look favorably on the manufacturer or the Pentagon to have their planes flying with problems. Remember, they are selling these planes to other nations.Its best to double check their work and get it right the first time.
