Nathan Fielder, the comedian and creator of HBO's 'The Rehearsal,' has publicly criticized the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its response to the show's depiction of him flying a Boeing 737. The incident occurred during the season 2 finale, where Fielder engaged in a simulated commercial flight.
During a recent appearance on CNN, Fielder expressed his frustration with the FAA, reportedly calling the agency 'dumb' for its apparent dismissal of any findings or concerns raised by the show's portrayal. While the specific details of the FAA's response remain unclear, Fielder's remarks suggest a disagreement over the accuracy or implications of the simulated flight.
Fielder is a licensed pilot, adding a layer of complexity to the situation. His experience in aviation lends credibility to his perspective, but it also raises questions about the FAA's authority over entertainment content that involves simulated flight scenarios. The controversy has sparked discussion about the FAA's role in overseeing aviation-related entertainment and the potential for such portrayals to influence public perception of air travel safety.
