re: Our President wants you to know that our planes have become too complicated

He's right.
Just like cars are too complicated.
Hell, back in the old days even a moron like me could do a lot of their own work in a car because it was pretty damned simple.

This is just a weird post. The left's fascination with choo choo trains is mental.

Right. The guy actually owned his own 737 and now has his personal 757.

We’ve seen that now in three accidents. Lion Air, Ethiopian, and in fact, Atlas Air, the one that crashed in Houston. The automation was still coupled, the pilots didn’t hand fly the airplane when they lost control and even through the recovery they were fighting the automation.”

Okay, so how many more accidents would occur if we were still primarily piloted by just humans? 10X?

As a pilot I partly agree, one of the biggest issues we face is automation dependency and not knowing what the airplane is trying to do versus what you are intending to do. Lots of unfortunate stories out there of the airplane flying the pilots and not the other way around.

So the pilots lacked sufficient training...gotcha

I know a lot of retired military pilots. They say that they have no qualms about flying in an airline jet (very complex). However, they do not trust flying in small private planes (very simple).
The reason is not the degree of complexity. It's trust in maintenance crew. The airlines are very careful about who is working on their planes. He doesn't trust the dude checking a small private plane.
There are a lot more small private plane crashes than you think because the story only goes regional, not national.

Next time you think you have a cute little zinger, keep it under your hat. It's not your cup of tea, bruv.

So, basically our president is a Luddite.

Technology always fails at some point and relying on it too much takes away the art of humans manually performing tasks.
Examples are flying
Driving (watch car chases on YouTube from old 70s-80s movies. The art of stunt driving in a 460 hp land yacht is gone these days. For example watch the French Connection car chase.
Also things like physics and engineering equations are done through computer. How many people today could write out those formulas by hand?

Modern airplane systems aren't that fricking complicated.

And, it is more reliable by far
As someone who had both a 2017 Ram and a 72 Chevy pickup I bought for 900 bucks in high school 15 years ago as my first vehicle and all I did was change the plugs and put a new carburetor on it (did body work and interior but mechanically that was all I did) front end, engine except carb and transmission was all original.
I drove the 72 Chevy 40 miles a day 5 days a week to school and back for 2 years. Never broke down. Had 175,000 miles on it.
That 2017 Ram went through 2 fuel pumps, had to get a new front differential, and engine rebuilt due to a worn cam shaft in less than 80k miles.
So you’re wrong here.
