Ok, so Boeing, a technology company brought down by having business people in charge instead of engineers, is selling these parts to a company which has business people in charge instead of engineers… 🫤 The blokes who developed OzRunways have done well for themselves (well done and congratulations), but watch it now slowly start to drift.

Hard to say. 

Thoma Bravo does have a reputation for purchasing software companies and then developing them so all is not lost (yet).

Boeing boeing Gone. Once a GREAT company  Perhaps the Best. Nev

Boeings stock keeps declining after their disastrous failings ever since the Max 8 crashes. When things go bad a company usually begins to divest interests that are not core to its business. The US government is keeping Boeing going with its military contracts. Their foray in to space didn't go well leaving Astronauts stranded & doors falling off because they forgot to secure the bolts doesn't inspire confidence. I'd say that Ozrunways/Foreflight will probably become combined but will be in better hands (possibly).
