Are you sure of this fact? I find it highly unlikely. Many aircraft Boeing still delivers were developed long before Ada was considered a practical solution -- or even before Ada existed. As rewriting in Ada would require new FAA certification, a daunting obstacle, I find it hard to believe that anyone would have done such an upgrade. Please check your facts and repost.
