Nathan Fielder Calls the FAA “Dumb” After Agency Dismisses ‘The Rehearsal’ Season 2’s Message


Someone isn’t being a Captain Allears.

On the second season of Fielder’s HBO series The Rehearsal, the Nathan for You comedian aimed to stop airplane crashes before they happen by facilitating better give-and-take communication between a pilot and co-pilot. The Federal Aviation Administration told CNN that it “mandates all airline pilots and crew members to complete interpersonal communication training.” The FAA “says it isn’t seeing the data that supports the show’s central claim, that pilot communications is to blame for airline disaster,” Pamela Brown said on Thursday’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown. The training is, someone shows you a PowerPoint slide saying, if you are a co-pilot and the captain does something wrong, you need to speak up about it,” Fielder continued.
