BALDWIN: Just in to CNN, the CEO of Boeing providing an update on the software fixes to its 737 Max jets that have been grounded for almost a month.</s>DENNIS MUILENBURG, CEO, BOEING: The update will make the 737 max even safer by preventing erroneous angle of attacks sensor readings from triggering the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System or MCAS, something that initial investigation reports indicate occurred in both max accidents as one link in a longer chain of events. We know we can break this chain link. It's our responsibility to eliminate this risk.</s>BALDWIN: Tom Foreman is with me now. And Tom, he also talked about they have been running test flights with the new system?</s>TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, they have. Really simply, Brooke. What they are trying to do is fix the thing they think drove the plane into the ground, make it harder for it to come on and easier for it to be shut off. And so, they have done 96 flights with this updated software, 159 hours. It's performed as designed. And they say they have additional tests planned with the production run as they actually turn it out as a matter of course to make sure that works well. And one more thing that's really important here, Brooke. They say that 67 percent of their customers around the world that buy these planes, airlines around the world, 67 percent of them have had leaders or pilots in simulators with this new software now. That's been a sticking point all along that they have had simulator time to know how it works and to know how to control it if it runs amok - Brooke.</s>BALDWIN: Tom Foreman, thank you so much for the update there from the head of Boeing on those jets. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Thank you so much for being with me. We will see you back here tomorrow. In the meantime, "THE LEAD with Jake Tapper" starts right now.
