'No One Wants to Think That Their Pilot Is Weird'
Briefly

The Rehearsal's second season reveals that Nathan Fielder has not only taken up flying lessons but has become a licensed pilot for Boeing 737 jets. His journey involves a blend of intense psychological experimentation and comedy, aiming to improve airline safety by promoting better pilot communication and mental health. The season concludes with Fielder performing with actor-passengers and later becoming a ferry pilot. Viewers are left questioning the line between authenticity and performance art, reminiscent of Kaufman-esque approaches in Fielder's work.
If this is really him and this ends up on his show I'm gonna lose my mind, that's an insane amount of time and dedication to put in.
We learn that Fielder's immersion into aviation has led him not only to take flying lessons but to work his way up to becoming an actual 737 pilot.
In a quest to ostensibly make airline travel safer, Fielder’s project has taken him on a ... winding odyssey through off-the-rails psychological experimentation.
Really trying to figure out what's sincere and what's a Kaufmanesque put-on in season two of The Rehearsal can leave you feeling like you’re tripping down an M.C. Escher staircase.
