Boeing is allegedly to 'deploy a software upgrade' which will 'make an already safe airplane safer'.

In April.

So that's OK then....

Surely the 737 Max8 should be grounded immediately until the cause of the accidents has been established and appropriate modifications incorporated? Boeing has said that the software enhancements include "limiting stabiliser trim commands in response to erroneous readings, pilot displays, operation manuals and crew training". Which sounds rather more than a software upgrade to me....
