The case against Boeing 737 Max is getting stronger by the day. Asian airlines are cutting routes, revamping their schedules and leasing extra aircraft to fill gaps left by the grounding of Boeing 737 Max 8s. Investigators are examining what Boeing said last week: The role of flight-control software that pushed the planes’ noses down based on faulty sensor readings. Nearly 400 Max jets were grounded at airlines worldwide in mid-March after the Ethiopia crash. Chinese airlines had 96 Max 8 jets, but have managed to avoid massive cancellations by swapping in other models of aircraft.
