To be fair, Boeing has had it's own troubles over the years.

Hard over rudders caused several fatal crashes and the one where a TWA 727 went supersonic over DTW and was just barely was able to land. Hoot Gibson was the pilot of that 727-100, and I'm sad to say he just died last week.

Also the Boeing 757 autopilot had a few un-commanded autopilot engagements just after takeoff. The disconnect button on the yoke would not disconnect, only the autopilot bar on the glare-shield would get rid of it!

I stand by my long time belief that there is too much reliance on computers and not enough basic flying skills.
