This article tries to shift blame to the pilots. Maybe there is some truth there but the perception of the public is the plane has a flawed design and development. It will be interesting if this plane ever flies again.

Boeing most definitely screwed the pooch, and they’re going to have a hard time climbing out of this mess.
But any properly trained pilot knows his/her plane and the airspeed/pitch combination that - given the engines are producing the proper thrust - tells them that the plane is not stalling, even given contra indicating signs. (I flew fighters/trainers - we always had to have all these relationships in mind at all times, because reaction times were sometimes measured in a couple seconds. )

It definitely will IMO, but now 800 of them need wiring work. That will take a while...
It will fly again. And it will be the safest airplane ever manufactured.
