If bugfixing those planes will be as rigidly pursued as with some open source software, maybe the phrase 'buying a ticket' gets a totally new meaning ;-)

  I did not get it. Please clarify.

    I think it refers to the Hunter S. Thompson quote: "No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride." Basically meaning you may be getting in over your head, but you'll probably have a good story to tell if you don't end up dead. Similar to the idiom, "in for a penny, in for a pound."

      I'm more inclined to think they were drawing a comparison between buying a ticket to ride a plane vs placing a bounty on a ticket/bug to be fixed.

        I'm inclined to agree with you. The bounty part of it didn't cross my mind.

      Or the plane ticket / bug ticket distinction.
