"Pilots in the U.S. complained at least 5 times in recent months about problems controlling their Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets during critical moments of flight, federal records show, adding to questions raised by deadly crashes involving that model of jetliner in Ethiopia and Indonesia. Some of the incidents appear to involve the same anti-stall system that has come up as a potential cause of October's Indonesia crash, according to a review of a Federal Aviation Administration incident database that lets pilots self-report trouble."

They had a software fix for the issue back in January but because of the government shutdown the implementation of this fix has been delayed.


Do you have a link with this statement? First I've heard of MAX issues in the U.S. so I'm curious. Southwest and American are the predominent U.S. airlines currently operating the MAX.
