You guys remember a couple of days ago people were discussing this eventuality and consensus was "surely they aren't pulling timing information from GPS, unfiltered! It's an aircraft manufacturer we are talking about, they know what they are doing!" -- Well, no, they don't. It's almost like you could begin to see a pattern here.
Are software issues as common to other manufacturers?
