The real "starter" airliner for years has been a CRJ or turboprop. Less automated and raw to fly than any model Airbus, or 787 etc. Get off your high horse. E-jet was designed in the 2000s vs 1960s, which explains the system simplicity. And literally tens of thousands of 200hr foreign pilots everywhere start on the 737. Maybe Boeing needs to innovate?
