<p><pre><code> The avionics in a cockpit operate as a self-contained unit and aren&#x27;t connected to the same system used by passengers to watch movies or work on their laptops. But as airlines update their systems with Internet-based networks, it&#x27;s not uncommon for Wi-Fi systems to share routers or internal wiring. </code></pre> I assume an executive overrides the engineers when they design this crap. It worries me that someone who cheated their way into a CCNA cert. is likely setting this stuff up.
