Why, stator vane, you don't set your stab before you take off?
The reason for trimming full nose down before deice was to prevent deicing fluid from entering the tail cone. Now we have to set it to take off position for the same reason?
Funny aircraft, this jurassic design still manages to surprise us after some 60 years of operation.

Back to the control issue....
Never flown the 737, nor anything that big. Does the certification procedure require these jets to demonstrate some controllability with a jammed elevator?
And if so, what could have been the difference here where the aircraft was almost not controllable at all?
