Selling it as a chargeable extra is not forgivable
Especially in the context of the cost of the whole aircraft - $80k in a multi-million dollar aircraft? Really?
Are Boeing *that* desperate to scape every cent from the sales that they make an essential pilot-information system optional?
Ironic that, if they were, then they have just caused the market for 737 Max 8 aircraft dive into the ground. And I hope it leads to some of their execs getting to learn what life is like without a regular pay cheque.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
