If I were in charge of Boeing I'd ditch the 737 and just make a new plane that pilots have to retrain for. Trying to make this new plane fly like the old 737 via translation has caused many of the problems.

People got huge paydays while making these other planes. It was never about fixing problems, but taking out money for investors and then asking for bailouts.
