The company's anti-stall software, called MCAS, was a common link in the March 10 crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet and October crash of the Lion Air 737 MAX. "When we design these systems, understand that these airplanes are flown in the hands of pilots," Muilenburg told the media on Monday following Boeing's annual shareholder meeting in Chicago. On Monday, Muilenburg reiterated that Boeing can make some improvements to make the 737 MAX safer to fly. The company's stock has lost about 10 per cent of its value since the March 10 crash, which prompted the worldwide grounding of the 737 MAX last month, reports CNN.
