   Aviation IT is the supreme discipline for interface networking.   
      
   It isn't rare that upgraded software keeps the limitations of it's predecessor   
   just for compatibility with the network.   
      
   The AOG condition is a defect that prevents the aircraft to fly. If it doesn't   
   two flights will be cancled. Two? Yes, the aircraft does the return flight too.   
      
   On "no night flights" airports you have to get airborn before the runway   
   closes. If you don't then you'll need 250 hotel beds.   
      
   That's why you need a spare part storage on the airport where common important   
   parts are ready for AOG. Wheels for example. If you have 50 airlines with 2   
   aircraft types with each two spare wheels you will need a storage of 200   
   wheels on each airport. This doesn't make sense and that's why there are pool   
   part storages. Airlines share the pool and the data access to that pool.   
      
   If you upgrade you have to upgrade all airlines at once.
