Trump says 'airplanes far too complex to fly' after Boeing's 737 Max crash
In a multipart tweet that didn’t specifically mention Boeing Co. BA, -6.35% or a Sunday crash of 737 Max 8 jet near Addis Ababa that left 157 people dead, the president said: “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.”
Trump’s tweet comes as aviation regulators across the globe have taken the unusual step of grounding the 737 Max jets on the heels of the weekend Ethiopian Airlines crash, even after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration declared the planes airworthy.The crash in Ethiopia came after a 737 Max 8 in Indonesia, operated by Lion Air, fatally crashed in the Java Sea back in October.
The company holds a significant place on Wall Street and Washington; it is the maker of Air Force One, which is a highly customized model 747-200B, and it is the most influential component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.21% Boeing’s stock had been the best performer among the Dow’s 30 components, up about 24%, until the past two sessions.
