Lol I use software every day that was written in COBOL. It would cost billions to replace. So leadership never wants to add that expense to their budget so they just hobble along and leave it for the next people.
That kind of bullshit thinking is why I have to do shitty half-assed solutions because I need to work around unsupported equipment that’s 50 years old and was EOL’ed three decades ago. At some point you absolutely should upgrade even if it isn’t broken.
Holy smokes, I thought Cobol was archaic

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

The absolute #1 priority in aviation is safety. Old, stable systems are safer. Just add new systems in parallel for new features
