What kept them from flying the thing and doing ramp tests 6 or 9 months ago?
Or is it another aspect of the "no need to fly the real thing before" mentality?
"No need for sim time, just a tablet", "no need to test fly, just run the cab"...
Makes you wonder..
Your experience of safety critical software development must be a little rusty . . .
