No comment, none what so ever. Oh, the rumour that Microsoft offered to rewrite the MCAS software and guarantee (monthly) updates for three years is totally untrue. Luckily. "Trump offers advice to Boeing on 737 MAX planes: ‘REBRAND’ The 737 MAX series planes were grounded worldwide after one crashed shortly after takeoff in Ethiopia. ... “What do I know about branding, maybe nothing (but I did become President!), but if I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name,” Trump wrote in a tweet. “No product has suffered like this one. But again, what the hell do I know?” ... Trump later said that he didn’t believe Boeing knew how to fix the software glitch, but said he hoped the planes were only grounded “for a short period of time” and spoke highly of the company, whose former leader he tapped to lead the Pentagon as acting secretary of defense. ..." www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-offers-advice-to-boeing-on-737-max-planes-rebrand/

Problems not over yet. "U.S. regulators say some Boeing 737 MAX planes may have faulty parts The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Sunday disclosed a new problem involving Boeing Co's grounded 737 MAX, saying that more than 300 of that troubled plane and the prior generation 737 may contain improperly manufactured parts and that the agency will require these parts to be quickly replaced." finance.yahoo.com/news/boeing-737-max-planes-may-192001217.html
