he just set the elevation to 100ft, speed to max and sat there

autopilot would easily compensate for the slowly shifting weight of passengers passing through an aisle

Why can’t they simply have a computer program which will not allow a pilot to take a plane into a mountain? Or, if such instructions are put into it, the plane could automatically contact the tower for verification.

Seems as though this would be an easy fix. The technology is there, and there is absolutely no need for a plane to even head directly into a mountain (or the sea, or a tower)
