Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are calling for all Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft to be grounded after a crash in Ethiopia's capital killed all 157 on board. He later appealed that any American flier who wants to rebook a 737 Max 8 flight "should be permitted to do so without any expense." The FAA ordered Boeing to enhance safety-related software on all its 737 Max 8 planes by next month. The Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash was the second crash in recent months involving the new Max 8 plane. Boeing went on to say that the "737 MAX is a safe airplane that was designed, built and supported by our skilled employees who approach their work with the utmost integrity."
