“We continue to demonstrate that we’ve identified and met all certification requirements,” he said.

“I expect that the airplane is still several weeks away from getting the final seal of approval to be flown again, not so much that the software fix is a problem, but just from an optics standpoint,” said Jeff Guzzetti, former director of the FAA’s accident investigation civision. Guzzetti believes the FAA is stinging from criticism its relationship with Boeing was “too cozy” because the FAA designated Boeing engineers to self-certify parts of the 737 Max before the plane was given final approval in 2017.

Flawed analysis, failed oversight: How Boeing, FAA certified the suspect 737 MAX flight control system.
Dominic Gates: 206-464-2963 or dgates@seattletimes.com; on Twitter: @dominicgates.
The Grounded 737 Max Is Turning Into a Major Debacle for Boeing.

At least a portion of the flight-control software suspected in the 737 Max crashes was certified by one or more Boeing employees who worked in the outsourcing arrangement, according to one person familiar with the work who wasn’t authorized to speak about the matter.

Boeing shares fall again after probe report into FAA approval of 737 MAX.

Boeing Co shares fell by more than 2.2 percent early on Monday, after a pair of newspaper reports over the weekend raised more questions about the certification process for its 737 MAX jets before two recent deadly crashes.

____
Muilenburg added the company is "finalizing its development of a previously
announced software update
that will address the MCAS flight control law's
behavior in response to erroneous sensor inputs."

Now, however, with Boeing and U.S. regulators facing criticism for appearing slow to react to the crash of a Boeing 737 Max 8 jet in Ethiopia, Boeing’s intermingled interests with the U.S. government are coming under new scrutiny. ;;;

U.S. transportation officials are still pressing for details on why the Ethio­pian Airways Boeing 737 Max 8 jet crashed. Congress is demanding answers about the Federal Aviation Administration’s oversight of Boeing, especially after the FAA didn’t move more quickly to ground the company’s planes, instead waiting until regulators in Europe, China, Australia and elsewhere had done so.
