The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it anticipates Boeing's final software improvements for 737 Max airliners "in the coming weeks." The news from the FAA suggests that airlines could be forced to park their Max jets longer than they expected. Separately, U.S. regulators and Boeing are awaiting a preliminary report from Ethiopian investigators into the March 10 crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Max 8 jet shortly after takeoff from Addis Ababa. According to published reports, the same system activated on the Ethiopian Airlines flight. Two American Airlines pilots who attended a session with Boeing experts last week expressed satisfaction with the manufacturer's changes.
