2. Southwest is already preemptively adding new angle of attack indicators to its 737 MAX fleet, which is fixing the suspected issue in the Lion Air crash (adding redundancy in case of AoA sensor failure) and which has been speculated to be involved in the latest ET302 crash.


I wish you'd lay off this a little bit. They aren't doing anything "preemptively". You are insinuating that SW has installed a 3rd AOA probe when all they've done is written a check to unlock the AOA display dial on the PFD. Or, as is written in the article, finally gotten around to doing something that AA has been doing since they received 737 # 1.

I’m sorry, I did not understand that. I was going by the headline and subtitle which said “Southwest is adding new angle of attack indicators to its 737 Max fleet” and "The AOA indicator will provide a valuable supplemental cross-check in the event there is an erroneous AOA signal present."

I will update to remove the text in point 2. My main goal was to assuage the poster’s fears about his upcoming flight on a Southwest 737.
