No kidding. Other aircraft probably wouldn’t function if their electricals were left turned on indefinitely. And I’m questioning how much maintenance is being done if it’s not powered down for maintenance.

Most maintenance doesn't require a full shutdown. C-checks are done every 2 years or so.

Counting on humans to reboot an airplane because of a software issue instead of fixing the software bug is wild. An electric car that would crash and burn if the drivers forgot to fiddle with some settings in the touch screen once every month would have to be recalled.

more like why was not there a solution to a problem that existed for 9yrs? Uptime shoikd never be a problem in a controlled system..
