A worker stands near a Boeing 737 Max 8 parked at Boeing’s assembly plant in Renton, Wash., on Monday. By Aaron Gregg Aaron Gregg Reporter covering the defense industry and government contractors. Email Bio Follow March 12 at 12:58 AM Chicago-based aerospace giant Boeing announced late Monday that it would update flight control systems on its 737 Max 8 commercial jetliners after the plane was involved in two deadly accidents in the past five months.
The announcement comes amid a broader crisis for Boeing in which the safety of the latest model of its best-selling commercial aircraft has been called into question.On Sunday morning a Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed minutes after takeoff, killing all 157 people on board, just months after a brand-new 737 Max 8 went down in Indonesia on Oct. 31, killing 189. The cause of the crash in Ethiopia remains inconclusive, with an inquiry into its causes in its earliest days.

After 346 deaths ...
if all is good why the update?
Meanwhile the MAX planes according to the FAA are considered safe to fly after 356 deaths and no survivors without the fix. 🤦♂️
So over 200 People would have to be gone in other to prompt you for update!
Too late.
Oh, well, since they promised, I'm relieved.
You shouldn’t have to update “flight controls” like Apple has to update IOS.

Oh thanks Boeing
Justo lo que hay que hacer.
IRRESPONSIBLE employees at BOEING is the cause for such damaging disasters. If design engineers were kept at their jobs INSTEAD of being SHUFFLED by contractors they would have kept EVERY AIRCRAFT running as SUCCESSFULLY as the 747's that served this planet for over 50 years
Meanwhile enjoy your flight !
Pinky promise?
Might be a plan!!
