There are moves to go to a longer lasting ULD and at lower frequencies.

Things will change but it is almost vanishingly rare to lose an aircraft.

Isn't it wonderful though that despite losing so much nav and comm's we were still, in all likelihood, able to find the aircraft?

I'm all for increased tracking and recording capability. Passengers need to know flying is not cheap, nor is it inherently safe. They'll need to pay a bit more for the extra safeguards so many seem to be demanding.
