Re: Commercial Aircraft Locations
Trying to mandate this through ICAO is tough... especially when it involves having to retrofit equipment onto airframes that may be anything from months to decades old. Don't tell me 'oh well, they'll just have to'... some countries can barely afford to *lease* their planes, nevermind buying them straight-up.
*HOWEVER* - several airlines have been very pro-active in their approach to this... one of the ME3 airlines has already switched theirs on purely because it makes their problem management even better.
