> [Boeing] would sell four businesses from a digital unit to Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm specializing in software. Those include Jeppesen, which provides navigational charts and information to pilots, and ForeFlight, an app that helps plan flights and monitor weather.

I don't imagine any PE company would prioritize opex on quality assurance, so this is yet another hairline crack in the pylons keeping the engines attached to the airline industry.



those companies are held together by duct tape anyways
