Grounded 737 MAX planes take over section of Boeing Field while company works on software fix

Boeing 737 MAX aircraft have taken over a section of Boeing Field in Seattle, while the company works to make the necessary fixed to get the grounded planes in the air again.

Boeing is working to fix cockpit software and update pilot training.

Boeing's fix for its troubled 737 MAX planes will take weeks, the FAA said Monday, keeping the entire fleet grounded.

The company halted 737 MAX deliveries, but it continues to roll out new planes from its factory in Renton. Boeing is stockpiling finished aircraft, which will need the new software enhancements before airlines can take delivery and put them into service.
