  I think John's point is that the major manufacturers of avionics 
for the commercial air transport market use Ada now and have used
Ada for the last ten years in all new products.  Since I suspect 
(thanks to deja news) that he works for a different company than I,
that would make at least two out of the biggest three avionics
companies in the world.  Haven't seen postings from anyone from
the third company.
