So what's everyone's new argument? Airplane manufacturers need to make sure their customers adequately train their employees? If a pilot is drunk while flying is that also Boeing's fault?
Airplane manufacturers are not supposed to design planes that can stall in some conditions which can only be avoided changing the trim. And if they did they should have told pilots, which they did not. And if they install a gimmick that supposedly does this for you, they should not make the gimmick more (much more) dangerous than the issue it's supposed to fix in the first place. And they should tell pilots such a gimmick exists and what to do if it malfunctions and makes the plane crash.
