A modern civil airliner should be designed not to rely on the flight crew having to adopt non standard (unique?) piloting techniques to counter a faulty bandaid put there to mask inherent aerodynamic flaws.
They could always increase the height of the main undercarriage and bring the engines down to where common sense says they should be like the A210. It would have been better if they had developed a B757 light rather pursue the religion of 737 commonality with the 200 series.

Let's hope the regulators inject some common sense into the Boeing brain.
