Aaaand... Trump was right as usual.

“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.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!”

According to one source, pilots in the U.S. use the autopilot as a backup. In other words, the pilot flies the plane. In other countries, it is the opposite.

My husband is a pilot. He often says that with all the automation pilots have forgotten how to actually fly the plane.

“Aaaand... Trump was right as usual.” And he is the only one that had the stones to call a spade a spade. The plane doesn’t work right, it’s spring break, ground the focker.

Just an aside but Happy 140th birthday Albert.
