> He added that if Boeing can push out the software update to fix the autopilot’s anti-stall function that appears linked to the two crashes, it would go a long way to restoring airlines’ confidence in the aircraft they have on order with the company.
I personally don't see things being quite as rosy only because right now Boeing is caught between a rock and a hard place.
On the one hand they have to try an quickly produce a software patch just so they can get the planes flying again.
On the other hand, that patch also has to result in a MCAS that is 100% bug free. No matter what the situation the aircraft finds itself in, the patched MCAS has to work flawlessly.
It would only take one or two bad reports from pilots for Boeing to once again find itself in terrible predicament.
The pressure to come up with this fix and to make sure it is prefect must be intense.
