"I don't know that understanding this system would have changed the outcome of this," said the Boeing official. The pilots pressed Boeing officials why the planes were still in the air and why an emergency hadn't been announced. Boeing gave a statement to the Dallas Morning News saying that Boeing "is committed to working with pilots, airlines and global regulators to safely return the updated MAX to flight once certified."
