I don't know how your draw that inference, beardy; no-one appears to be 'blaming' the aeroplane in recent posts.
The HF issues associated with 'automation surprise' and 'startle effect' cannot be ascribed simply to the aeroplane, but should be largely mitigated by improved training and particularly by more rigorous simulator sessions.
As I learned at a recent EASA meeting, following the AF447 accident involving an A330, some airlines are now beginning to grasp this nettle rather more firmly than perhaps was the case hitherto.
