Experts say that the design and engineering problem of the Flight Control Enhancement System (MCAS) on the 737 MAX aircraft is a key factor in the accident.

Bassani added that Boeing had invited her to attend training and information about 737 MAX aircraft at Boeing headquarters in Seattle, starting from December 2. "Hopefully the flight attendants will regain confidence to fly on this aircraft when Boeing shares on the improvements that have been made," Bassani said.

Boeing expects the 737 MAX to be re-licensed in December. But Jon Weaks, director of the Southwest Airlines pilot association, the largest US low-cost airline, alleges that the "big" production "arrogant, ignorant and greedy" aircraft carriers should not be licensed again.
