That's the thing that gets me. There's all this talk about sensors and software, redundancy, pilot training etc. But before all of that it seems to me that the physical characteristics of this plane are significantly worse then it's predecessors (at least in some aspects). Didn't the problem really start there?
I might be reading to much into it, but it seemed to me Boeing try to squeeze a bit to much out of the 737, which backfired pretty badly.
