Work for airline industry mx side now and I'm shocked how many airliners don't have LPV capability. What's interesting is that many overseas operators aren't really even interested in adding the capability to their fleets (especially those near GPS interference countries). ILS will be around a long time (of which you can easily get vectors to final).

When I was last flying HAA I had a GPS signal loss just before entering Class B and my heart jumped as it had been a few years since I had to navigate by sole pilotage and dead reckoning... then remembered, "duh, just fly like you did for most of your career". I then laughed at myself and then felt sad about the younger generation that's pretty much only flown by using the GPS. They would have really freaked out.
We noticed a few places in our city that must have had ground based GPS jammers (some odd work-truck or delivery truck related reason).
