Ethiopian investigators were not available for comment. The Ethiopian crash led to a global grounding of 737 Max jets and scrutiny of its certification process. Ethiopian Airlines is also in the midst of an expansion drive, while other 737 Max customers and victims' families want answers, and potentially compensation. Boeing is upgrading the MCAS software and training while stressing that existing cockpit procedures enable safe flight.
