Boeing Co says it has reprogrammed software on its 737 MAX passenger jet to prevent erroneous data from triggering an anti-stall system that is under mounting scrutiny following two deadly nose-down crashes in the past five months. Existing 737 pilots will also have extra computer-based training, following criticism that MCAS was not described in the aircraft manual. The changes were drawn up in response to the Lion Air crash but are seen as crucial to regaining the trust of pilots, passengers and regulators after the Ethiopia crash prompted a worldwide grounding Boeing 737 MAX planes. However, the FAA denied on Wednesday that it had granted provisional approval for the anti-stall software upgrade. Originally published as Boeing unveils 737 MAX fix, no FAA nod
