janet is live at boeing headquarters in seattle, right now, where company officials are meeting with pilots from around the world. janet? >> reporter: yes, it is interesting that both of these events are on the same day. besides briefing the media, as you mentioned, there were about 200 pilots, regulators and industry to tell us about the changes they are working on for the 737 max airplane. those are really broken down into two areas. they are software related with the stabilization of the mcas system that is believed to have caused problems in both of the crashes within the past six months and the other part falls to pilot training but facing an uphill battle, they have a skeptical aviation industry. what you see behind me are planes, 7:37 planes that have been ordered, built and waiting to be delivered but of course, the planes are now grounded in the united states, china and europe. they are hoping to get these delivered and to get others back in the air as soon as possible. >> janet, thank you. >>> southwest is cutting its sales outlook due to the says lost $150 million in reven

liz: the seattle times says boeing may have had too much say over the vetting of its own planes. here is what the paper is saying it found in its investigation. boeing failed to account that software would repeatedly push the plane's nose downward. the software understated -- or boeing understated the power of the flight control software. it was designed to push the nose of the plane down to a diverted stall. and the tail was moved four times farther than stated in initial safety analysis. this is quite a story. what's your take in all this? >> the latest developments with boeing today is incredible, too. boeing for decades and decades was the only game in town. so they know the certification game in and out. so you have to wonder how much involved they are with the fda in the whole process. >> they are saying the faa alleged liddell gaited boeing too much vetting and boeing has picked what they can vet with their own planes. do you think that's an issue? >> they are the on game in the whole country. the largest airplane manufacturer. so i think the faa also knows how well they k
