Boeing to host a new round of updates on the 737 MAX

The Boeing Co. this week is sending industry stakeholders to Seattle to provide an update on its work to return the 737 MAX to service. Boeing spokesperson Paul Bergman says the event, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, will provide invited guests with a two-day review of 737 MAX software upgrades, training and the certification process. “This is a further element in our outreach across the industry, with more than 20 global conferences, and a series of briefings and simulator sessions that in all have reached more than 1,600 participants and over 300 organizations,” Bergman said in an emailed response to the WBJ. “The goal is to provide industry stakeholders a firm foundation of knowledge in the technical and training updates for the 737 MAX at the appropriate point in the certification process. The visit will help them understand how the MAX software update and training will prevent an MCAS-related accident from ever happening again and the changes Boeing has made as a result of the accidents.”
