Boeing's 737 MAX jets will remain grounded for weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday afternoon that the plane maker continues to work on a software fix. "The FAA expects to receive Boeing's final package of its software enhancement over the coming weeks for FAA approval," the agency said in a statement. Boeing acknowledged the new timeline, saying in a statement that the software change would be "completed in the coming weeks." Dennis Tajer of the Allied Pilots Association, which represents American Airlines pilots, said the group was encouraged by Boeing's recent "sense of energy" to produce a fix but also realized the timeline was ambitious. The FAA statement said the software changes would require a "rigorous safety review."
