The problem lies in the aircraft that are grounded in more remote areas where there are no qualified LAME's to do the upgrade. They have to be flown in.

The ABC News article is most certainly centred around just the effect on Jetstar, and it's not an aviation technical report, and it ignores all the other affected airlines. Jetstar are most affected because they own around 90 A320's - but only 34 of the Jetstar A320's are affected by the recall. Virgin only own 4 A320's affected by the recall, and were able to work around those aircraft being pulled from operations for the software revamp. Qantas are not affected, as none of their aircraft are covered by the recall.

WE had Plenty of delays and failures . My (Opinion?) is the Modern stuff is Better in general. I am still in touch with People flying in Airlines Now. I have flown "Fly by wire". Nev

It is a problem with the current version of the software in a Thales built box. The fix seems to be reverting to the previous version. If they have not updated to the current version then they do not have a problem.

SE2 is a ADSB IN/OUT devise - so yes it "brings in others" but only ADSB transponders. This is a big step forward HOWEVER older Mode C (I think) systems will not appear on your EFB. The three deaths at The Oaks (12 months ago) - the Cessna 182 had the old transponder, the Jabiru an SE2/OzRunways. Not saying the incompatibility of the systems was the cause of the mid-air, just that if they had both been on the same system, there may have been a chance for evasive action. We have this crazy situaton with aircraft flying in congested airspace with the older (legal) transponders - can be "seen" by ATC but not by OZRunways/SE2 - go figure!!!!!!😈

On the positive side, if he filled it with those styrofoam beads just like a normal Amazon package, it'd be pretty safe in a crash!
