Flight MH370 mystery prompts call to modernize tracking technology

FAA gave Boeing  and the airlines THREE YEARS to install two light
bulbs for extra safety...

"In March 2011, the Federal Aviation Administration in the United
States released an airworthiness directive requiring all Boeing 737
aircraft from −100 to −500 models to be fitted with two additional
cockpit warning lights. These would indicate problems with take-off
configuration or pressurization. Aircraft on the United States civil
register were required to have the additional lights by 14 March 2014"

Yes, three years for two bulbs on each plane. Makes me want to setup a
donations web site for the poor Boeing and the USA airlines.
