It was not immediately clear whether the Ethiopian crew chose to re-deploy the system, which pushes the Boeing 737 MAX downwards to avoid stalling. The Ethiopian crash led to a global grounding of 737 MAX jets and scrutiny of its certification process. The 737 MAX is Boeing's top-selling jet with almost 5,000 on order. They have lost more than 8.5 percent since the Ethiopian crash. Boeing is upgrading the MCAS software and training while stressing that existing cockpit procedures enable safe flight.
