"Please wait while Windows installs updates"

"Update 2 of 67 in progress"

Hope their developers and QA teams get fired.

How long can it possibly take for the systems to boot? 30 minutes? 2 hours?

Why fire them if they found the glitch under their own testing?

The glitch occurred under Boeing's own testing when software control of generator control units dropped into fail-safe mode

Ah you're right. I thought that an incident had taken place already.

No i mean a real emergancy like constantly taking off and landing supplies, ir in a warzone....

Or even a fedex/ups plane, those get used heavily, and if they cant be turned off? What then?

They have maintenance windows and turnaround times on the ground during which they can be rebooted.

Our 767's:

'A' checks every 600hrs

half 'C' check ????

'C' checks every 18 months
http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/tech_ops/read.main/189239/


So a structural check every 50 days assuming a 50% duty cycle

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Ok a, b and c checks aside,

As those take long sometimes,

When hangered/parked at the end of the day,
They leave it online right? Apu running but still on,or connected to ground power?


So theoretically it could stop working?
