Nathan Fielder, creator of HBO's "The Rehearsal," criticized the FAA's pilot training program on CNN. Fielder, now a 737 pilot, argues that the training inadequately addresses co-pilot communication with captains, failing to instill emotional impact. He contends this lack of effective training contributes to potential safety issues. The FAA countered that all crew undergo Crew Resource Management training and hasn't seen data supporting Fielder's claims. Fielder dismissed the FAA's response as 'dumb'.
