It's not the innovation ALPA invents. Those are the good people at various avionics companies. But the airlines ALWAYS cry poor. ALPA just helps it become a mandate to install them. This happened for weather radar and TCAS. It took a lot of dues to pay for the push to get these things mandated. Almost all safety systems have ALPA pushing them through or even helping to make it better by being included in the development in order to make it more pilot ergonomic. Sit time over, gotta go catch my DH now.
