"So, American Airlines supplied bad data to their crews this one time. It was caught and corrected."

After the entire American Airlines 737 fleet (according to the news sources) was affected by the glitch. A.K.A a single point of failure.

"None of the above has ANYTHING to do with Apple, which you. evidently, love to trash..."

Who designed the App system that allows updates to be performed that can glitch and shut down an entire fleet of planes? Yeah that was Apple.

BTW the same thing can happen with any other tablet approved for use as an E-flight manual. So the system needs changed so it won't happen again AND if you had read upthread I pointed out the solution but apparently its more important to try and cast blame on everyone BUT Apple. Which is always good for laugh.

Take a look at Post #128. It’s explained there that it had nothing to do with the iPad or the iOS or the update. They identified it as a database problem in the software supplied by the company who does this for American Airlines.

All they did was issue some files to replace the one part of the database that was causing the problem, and installed the files outside of that App, and the problem was solved and they were on their way.

The software company will obviously fix their database so that it will not be a problem anymore, but that might take a few days to a week or so before it’s finished and tested.

In the meantime, it’s no problem to American Airlines and it wasn’t an iPad problem.
