Until planes are fully automated, which I don't think will happen anytime soon, pilots are going to be part of every accident. To improve the safety of flying, pilot actions should be considered after every accident and if there are improvements to be made, they should be made. We cant shy away from "blaming" the pilots (which we are not blaming them as much as highlighting issues) because thats not nice, we should identify issues and make sure they are worked on in training or procedures.

Even with the higher levels of automation, the pilots are literally there to monitor the automation and intervene when it does something wrong. The 737 tells you when it will stall in on the speed tape on the PFD, auditory and through the feel of the stick shaker.
