$80,000?

$80,0000 was the cost of this upgrade? I seem to remember reading that it was just a firmware update of sorts, changing the control logic to disable MCAS if the AOA sensors disagree. The "warning light" is located on a primary LCD interface in the cockpit, so no additional hardware was needed there.

Could be wrong, as I'm no aviation expert.
