There were three similar accidents this winter, all on CRJ100s.

I am not very good with aerodynamics, but I believe more so than the wingdesign it was the abscence of slats that led to the accidents. No aitflow fed onto the wing makes it more susceptible to stalling, when even lightly contaminated..
