So if pilots have been reporting issues with a downward pitch when engaging autopilot, why have they not taken action?

It's my understanding that they were rewriting software that they were going to push out to the fleet in April. Boeing rolled the dice on not asking for the fleet to be grounded until then and hoping that another crash wouldn't happen. It came up snake eyes.

Under the FAA grounding, Boeing gets an enormous economic reprieve. The emergency order allows for production test flights to continue with a special flight permit. The company continues to build 737 Max aircraft at a record pace, accounting for most of its 52/mo Renton output.
