- Boeing Co confirmed late on Monday it will deploy a software upgrade to the 737 MAX 8, a few hours after the Federal Aviation Administration said it would mandate “design changes” in the aircraft by April. Boeing did not reference Sunday’s Ethiopian Airlines crash in connection to the software upgrade. The statement did express the company’s condolences to the relatives of the 157 people who died, however.
The company said in the aftermath of October’s Lion Air Flight crash it has for several months “been developing a flight control software enhancement for the 737 MAX, designed to make an already safe aircraft even safer.” The software upgrade “will be deployed across the 737 MAX fleet in the coming weeks,” it said.
Boeing do you expect us to buy this 'update' as it is?
Cold comfort for anyone flying on a Boeing 737 Max 8 in the next few 'weeks'.
Rushing a software update isn't safe either. Boeing should ground all 737 Max fleet until the software update is fail proof!
Interesting! I thought there was 'nothing wrong' with the planes ... 🤔
What if the Ethopian Airways' Boeing incident was part of some Western Conspiracy shit on Africans!
Can be believe it?
Update? Something smells.
Is relying on autonomous software progress? Who trusts software upgrades?
Do Boeing care about humans lives? Or only profit?
Well now....Class Action Law Suits are on tha Table!!!!
Es la mejor medida que pueden tomar.
The automatic fly into ground algorithm needs a tweak or two
Sweden will let fleet fly 'its safe they say'
