President Donald Trump on Tuesday complained that modern planes are becoming too complicated for pilots, as countries around the world ground the Boeing 737 Max 8 after a deadly crash in Ethiopia.
"Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT. I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better," Trump wrote on Twitter.He continued: "Split second decisions are....needed, and the complexity creates danger. All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot.
The tweet comes shortly after the governments of China, the United Kingdom, Australia, Indonesia and other countries grounded 737 Max 8's in their airspace in response to the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines flight last weekend. Another 737 Max 8 crashed in Indonesia in October, raising concerns about the plane's safety. The 737 family is one of Boeing's most popular planes with a strong safety record, but the Max 8 has raisedSeveral U.S. carriers have maintained the plane is safe and continue to use it on hundreds of flights a day without incident. But that hasn't stopped lawmakers including Sens. Richard Blumenthal , Dianne Feinstein and Mitt Romney from calling for a grounding.

Trump wouldn't understand that making several tons of metal and plastic with several hundred lives in a round tube
Hey realDonaldTrump we don’t want an imbecile as our president but we have one right now.
Perhaps he’d like to replace Air Force One with this....
What? Planes too complicated, but global climate issues simple?
Very stable genius is an expert.
How would he know? Does he even know how to drive a CAR 🤦♀️
He is completely unqualified to comment on this.
Trump has said 'I know more about technology than anybody.' Here's a look at a bunch of times Trump has talked tech.
Fake news alert 🚨
His brain is too little to understand. He is still trying to remember where he hid his acorns last fall.
There's not a damned thing that Trump touches that he doesn't make worse by doing so.
Drumpf probably had 900 in his SAT. So, everything for him is complicated. But for heavens' sake tell Boeing to fix the issue and not make idiotic tweets!
It’s ok you see ole Donnie is a complete and utter idiot who has not a single idea of what he is talking about. Appreciate the source, Donald would wax the rear end of a Donkey if he thought it would get him more coverage.
Any chance of getting a 737 Max for Air Force One or as Trump calls it his golf cart?
Sounds like an training issue. If these pilots are not learning how to fly these new innovative aircraft, then get them out.
Why does Trump think modern planes are becoming too complicated for pilots?
Grounds keepers are not being taught how to maintain these planes!
This from a someone who couldn't close an umbrella.
I face palmed myself so hard I broke my glasses. Please post warnings for these stories.
Did his gut tell him?
Stop making idiotic statements and do your job, protect Americans. Have the FAA ground these planes until investigations are complete. Brand new planes don’t just fall out of the sky. realDonaldTrump
And he wants to start a space force....🙄
Instead of the husband in Bermuda who lost his wife, 3 young children and mother-in-law I can think of another family who would be much more deserving.
but yet is cutting social security omg lord help us all

Dow under pressure | Boeing tanks | Powell: Trump can't fire meThis morning's futures are somewhat misleading, in that Boeing is set to drag more than 250 points off the Dow by itself. He cant be fired because the federal reserve bank holds America hostage. Some people thought it was a good idea to elect a “non politician” hows that working out for you? Powell sounds like a hit-and-run CRIMINAL DESPERATELY shouting for ATTENTION in public saying - The Police Can’t catch me ... na..na..na..nanana..na, na..na..na..nanana..na, ...

Southwest says it remains 'confident' in its fleet of Boeing planes after Ethiopia crashSouthwest Airlines Co. expressed confidence in its Boeing Co. aircraft and said has no plans to change operations in the wake of a deadly crash involving a 737 Max 8 aircraft in Ethiopia. But shares of the airline fell over 3% in premarket trading, alongside a nearly 9% drop in Boeing shares. "As Southwest operates a fleet of 34 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, we have been in contact with Boeing and will continue to stay close to the investigation as it progresses," said a spokesman for the company. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed shortly after takeoff from the capitol of Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people on board. It's the second deadly accident involving Boeing's popular 737 Max 8 in six months, with the last occurring in October when an Indonesia Lion Air jet crashed into the sea, killing all 189 on board. China's civilian aviation authority has ordered all airlines to ground those Max 8 planes, while Ethiopian Airlines has grounded its entire fleet of those planes. "We don't have any changes planned to our operational policies or procedures," said the Southwest spokesman. Losses for Boeing drove a 170-point drop in Dow futures. Boeing needs to ground all these new 737's immediately Caution is warranted pending the investigation and review of the facts at hand. Dont be a hero

Boeing shares tumble 8% after deadly crash of popular 737 jetBoeing shares tumbled Monday a day after the deadly crash of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in Ethiopia. The plane is among the manufacturers' most popular but some regulators and airlines are grounding the aircraft. China grounded the A/C because some of them were built in China under Boeing license. Just as the wing box and battery problem was Japans engineering cause of those problems. Build the whole damn thing back in AMERICA. Anyone read all FAA reports and Aviation wk/space technology. It's going below $370 Which was the goal of those responsible for the crash. A worker who overlooked an issue. Boeing has nothing to gain from planes falling out of the sky. But its competitors have everything to gain.
