Whatever software fix they come up with: it is not going to fix the fundamental structural instability problem of the 737 max..this is going to remain with this aircraft as long as its design is not changed...this will definitely not be resolved in a year or two. I am not an expert..but i am not aware of any other aircraft which has comparable structural faults causing instabilities which require to be addressed by a counterbalancing software..and I am not convinced by the FBW examples given above..there is a difference between an aeronautical instability and a design which systematically pushes this instability to the limit. IŽd rather fly in an aircraft which just flies with the help of a skilled pilot. AFAIC, I will totally avoid the max in the future..and my trust in Boeing and the FAA is fundamentally disturbed..so I personally will give it quite some time before boarding a 777X.
