What I am not reading here and in the press is who at Comair knew the software had this drop dead limitation and why were they not prepared for it?
My suspicion is that the FAA has such tight controls on software change management at the airlines that the Comair IT managers knew the problem could occur, but were powerless to modify the package to prevent the meltdown.

Really good post! How could Comair IT Management not have been aware of the limitation in this critical application?
