What I have heard is that the vendor who was originally awarded the contract(for much cheaper then Boeing quoted) has claimed that he has run into "compatibility" issues with the M88 FMS. This of course has resulted in the upgrades costing more then was originally planned. Of course he told Delta what the extra costs would be, and this was not well received by management. They told the vendor he signed a contract, and that's the cost he'll be held to. The rest is TBD.

If there is a problem with the autopilot, well there ain't much an auto pilot can do to overcome the physics of the MD-90s pitch control.

There's a lot going on in that picture and I just can't comprehend all of it.
