Pressure mounted on Boeing in Washington as US lawmakers called for executives to testify about two crashed 737 MAX jets, even as the world's biggest plane-maker worked to return the grounded fleet to the skies. Initial reports from investigators say there are clear similarities between the crash and the Lion Air accident that killed all 189 crew and passengers in November. Boeing has promised a swift update to the MCAS, and the FAA said the installation of new software and related training was a priority. A Boeing spokeswoman said training on the software update would be provided by the manufacturer, but declined to disclose further details. Facing high-profile scrutiny, Boeing reshuffled executives in its commercial airplanes unit to focus on its response.
