WASHINGTON, March 15 (Reuters) - Boeing said Friday it
told airlines operating 787 Dreamliners to check flight deck
switches after a sudden mid-air dive by a LATAM Airlines
 LTM.SN  787 plane left more than 50 people injured.
    The Air Current, an aviation industry publication, reported
Wednesday the movement of a flight deck seat is a key focus of
the probe of Monday's flight. Boeing said Friday it took the
precautionary measure of reminding operators of a 2017 service
bulletin detailing instructions for inspecting and maintaining
flight deck seat switches. "We are recommending operators
perform an inspection at the next maintenance opportunity,"
Boeing said Friday.
