I know a guy who is a friend of a friend who is in his early 50s and has worked for Honeywell for at least 20 years. This particular part of Honeywell is virtually a division of Boeing. He manages a project to send non- flight data from the 787 while it is parked at a gate. I asked what language they were using and he said C. I asked if any Ada was involved. His answer: "Ada is obsolete." Jerry
