They have expected to turn that off? >> yes, they should have. and boeing probably did. i have flown boeing airplanes my entire career. they produce a wonderful airplane. and usually that information is passed on to the various training centers, whether it be southwest, american, united airlines that fly these type of airplanes and international carriers also. >> we know after the lion air crash there was training given to pilots on this particular airplane. and youre right, it is one of the bes...

Pilots in the software fix thats coming?. >> you know, thats really hard to know. i could guess probably not all that confident, given that i think a lot of pilots, especially the pilots unions werent happy that boeing built an airplane and then didnt fully explain in the manual how it really works. >> how much of this do you think is the fault of boeing? >> you know, i want to be careful in assigning blame. >> absolutely. >> but it does seem that if you are going to design the software system, ...

This is a lot of money on the line. southwest airlines for example many of the planes are 730 sevens. they have to show that security and safety is a priority especially after 346 people perish with both crashes. >> boeing has a lot of the 737 max planes in production. when we compare this to the boeing streamliner that was grounded in 2013. it took 20 million in three months to fix the problem. >> they will have to show that they are working on it immediately. thats what theyre doing. he did sa...

Them was the right move? >> i do think it was the right move and even though the optics might not look good for the f.a.a. because it came a day-- they grounded it a day after the other countries grounded it, they stuck to their guns and did not ground an airplane simply based on public fears or political pressure. they grounded it because they had got hard evidence, the stabilizer trim setting that they found in the wreckage, plus refined satellite data, gave them pause in terms of connecting s...

Speak, perhaps due to a faulty sensor. and even though that mimics a typical stabilizer trim run away scenario that all airline pilots must train to periodically in a simulator, in this case, it may have surprised the crew. we just dont know yet. so, this software fix will simply ensure that a faulty, one faulty sensor will not cause this unintended movement of the stabilizer trim. neil: does that indicate an acknowledgment on the part of boeing that the plane did have a problem and that some of...

Rolling out a software fix in the coming week is bringing optimism from wall street. for more insight lets turn to business correspondent, christina. laura: lets talk about what is happening with the company in a business perspective. what more do we know about this new software? how specifically will it help boeing moving forward and consumer confidence? >> you mention the stock is down 11%. on friday there was only one report that came from afp. this is a french newswire. they said that boeing...

Talking to some people who said maybe just a software fix. you are talking about changing the center of gravity on an airplane. thats more than, you know, downloading an app. >> you are right. its a clean sheet design but also boeing is going to consider the option of the software patch. this is essentially what the f.a.a. administrator was saying. they are cautious because, essentially, you are trying to use the data between the two crashes and see if you can correct differential lift on the en...

>> the pilot came on and he said, the president just said that all flights are grounded. and well be returning to the gate. not much we can do, im afraid. >> all right, david kerley live tonight. david, you reported that boeing is working on that fix you mentioned after what happened in the first crash in indonesia that nose-dive in that crash. then "the wall street journal" suggesting that that fix might have been delayed by the government shutdown but tonight the faa pushing back on that? >> r...

From satellites overnight, according to the faa, and evidence from this debris field in ethiopia, convinced the agency there are enough similarities in these flights it grounded the fleet. >> does this mean the two crashes are related? >> it does not mean the two crashes are related but theyre close enough that its worth saying stop flying these airplanes until we get the black boxes read out. >> reporter: those two black boxes, found two days ago in ethiopia, are damaged. the delay in extractin...

Again. this could happen in a week or so. it could be as easy as a software fix from boeing that the faa approves. >> and were following the massive college admission story. axios spoke with one parent on their interaction. >> completely legally, he walked us through the steps when his kid became a june why aijunior,a flood of these consultants. then he started hearing things that were off, where his son could get into usc if he was a football player but his son wasnt a football player and then ...
