Meanwhile Australian taxpayers are spending 8-9 figures looking for a B777 which would have been located instantly if they had a $250 spot tracker on the dashboard.
There is no doubt that Spot can be a useful thing. What stuns me is that the above posters think it would locate an aeroplane that was already full of million dollar electronics. Send Airbus a resume boys, they need your advice.
Million dollar electronics? Really???
Do you know how few years ago that Qantas were still using non-GPS equipped 737's from Melbourne to Canberra and other short sectors?
The Malaysians were too tight to pay for any kind of tracking. A Spot tracker would have left a breadcrumb for MH370 that would have led searchers straight to it. What's so hard about that?
