Also think about this... do you think Silver Airways would be taking on airframes if they were going to have to upgrade the avionics just after getting them on property? I think this is a bit too much hype... but Jesus knows I have been incorrect in my mental calculations in the past.
But are the EFIS tubes in the 1900s, King Airs, and 737s the same model number of what's in the Saab? Not sure if it adds up either...not sure why Collins wouldn't want to still support a product that could potentially make them $$$ ? But then again, maybe it doesn't make financial "cents" for them to support it? Just spit balling...
