Boeing's redesign of the 737 for use with turbofan engines, which put the center of gravity forward of the center of lift and compensated with software to fly "goofy-footed", should never have been approved.

It's one thing to fly an F-16, F-117, B-2 etc, which are unstable, it's another thing to fly commercial airliners that are unstable.
