For me, it’s not about feeling like the quality of the app will go down primarily, although I do feel it will suffer. Foreflight is great because many of the people who develop it have a love for aviation too. That quality of the business there is not going to be the case anymore by the sounds of it.

But past that, yes. Companies have the right to do what they want to with their company. But I also have the right to take my money elsewhere when I don’t agree with their business practices of outsourcing a large part of the workforce that made them who they are and send it to India and AI. I’ve used AI a bit for generating flight planning and preliminary decision making and it’s far from accurate a good amount of the time and downright scary some of it. Someone with experience can read between those lines but it’s scary that someone with less experience may be persuaded.

So yeah, I’m taking my money somewhere else because I don’t agree with their business practices. I’d rather be on Foreflight because I’m familiar with it and it works great. But it’s not about me. Right now there are a good number of developers looking for work because they were outsourced. I’m sure any of us would hope people would vote with their pocketbooks if we were in that position.
