He’s not being sarcastic about the fact that he thinks planes have become too complex to fly. A 737 MAX. Too complex to fly. I’ve flown the 737-200,300,500,700,800,900,9MAX. They are the same damned jet with newer TV’s. Is the 767 that just crashed too complex to fly?

If he was suggesting that pilots need more training and more stick and rudder skills, fine. But I for one am a BIG fan of the automation improvements in modern jets. Planes are VASTLY safer than they were 30 years ago.
