finale of The Rehearsal
Nathan reveals he's a full on licensed airline pilot
pilots a 737 full of passengers
flies 737's on his spare time now
Holy fucking kino. I was not expecting that.
Finale of The Rehearsal
i have not been able to get into him
should i try again?
Sure. Nathan For You has so hilarious episodes. It's definitely worth watching.
So its just a guy getting a job
he seemed more like a trains guy
It's a comedian getting his pilot license for a bit so he can fly a 737 with 200 passengers on board on his TV show. He said that on his spare time now he flies decommissioned 737s from one airport to another, so I guess it's a job.
Did you ask for his consent first? Perhaps the reason you couldn't get into him was because he was fighting back. I wouldn't expect him to be able to put up a good fight, so the fact that you failed must mean that you are incredibly weak, both physically and in terms of will
test
based nathan
there is no way you can be a pilot and NOT have autism btw
all the pilots hiding their diagnosis so they don't lose their licence
Am I supposed to feel safe
yeah the guy that was banned from multiple dating platforms clearly came off as autistic
Yea, but I think he's also trying to get credibility for the whole "pilots don't talk to each other" thing. He may well be playing the long con. He really is onto something there. What's the point of a co-pilot really? Just sitting there earning hours? Incase the captain gets sick? Valid input could save lives and a comedian won't be taken seriously.
First recorded instance of an actor/comedian doing an honest day’s work
I think it's a serious issue. He clearly demonstrates that this season.
I doubt anything will be done, though.
commercial flying is extremely safe
i think the secondhand but more important point is that ppl will make sure they act like they know what they're doing which gives an air of safety that is more important than actually being safe because if ppl think the pilot isn't levelheaded they might freak out in the cabin and that could cause even more crashes
it's a poisoned system to its core
some airlines may change policy.
This started one night as a conversation with Burr
Dude get your pilot's license, it's awesome. And it's fuckin easy.
Yea probably, just watch this season and get to the third episode, if that doesn’t get you then drop it.
he thinks reality TV is real life
Not everything he does is good. If Nathan for You wasn't a favorite of yours for the love of God don't try the Rehearsal or the curse.
They have footage of him flying the plane. The inside of the cockpit has cameras and they had a second plane flying around them at one point and you could see Nathan flying the 737. It is real.
Aren’t airline planes almost entirely autopilot at this point? What do pilots even do anymore?
Getting your first license is easy but getting a license to fly any sort of jet takes forever
Idk but landing looks very stressful. It's wild that you go straight from a simulation to a full 737. They literally don't even have the pilots fly and empty 737 first.
Reminder that getting a pilots' license in the US is not impressive. You just need the money and the time to practice. If you go for a sport/experimental license you don't even need to pass physical exams and air traffic controllers just treat you like a baby and let you pretty much fly however you want.
I still don't see how its a serious issue. A copilot is simply a redundancy. If the pilot passes out for some reason or shits himself or whatever, the copilot can take over and continue the flight. The pilot and copilot don't need to be friends, it's just a job. They're glorified bus drivers.
The point is that pilots often make mistakes that could be corrected by the copilot but the copilot fears too much to lose his job since a pilot can basically blackball a copilot from ever flying again. It's definitely an issue.
Its pretty scary that a middle aged comedian can get a license to fly a 737 in his spare time as a stunt for a TV show.
It took him 3 years
incredible shot
But the further issue is then that the co-pilot may be wrong in his decision making. Does the pilot always have to give over control of the plane to the co-pilot when asked? What if the co-pilot is a moron that gets everyone killed. Even if it's not completely retardation, what if he's just less skilled? Take Sully's case; imagine if insteaf of listening to the chorus of bring me to life, he handed over controls to his co-pilot, who was not able to do a safe water landing and ended up killing or injuring many people? The entire situation is much more complex, but there is certainly no harm in making some kind of effort to have the two in the cockpit atleast have more open and free dialog
a webm can have 4mb
kind of insane to have another plane flying so close to someone piloting a 737 for the first time
He's not making Travolta money, that business degree must really have helped him out.
This. I have a private pilot certificate (they are not licenses), and it was not that difficult, just somewhat expensive, about $100/hr to rent the plane and instructor time. Commercial is just more hoops to jump through for IFR, medical shit and type certification.
You also need 1500 flying hours minimum for commercial
penises can be a over a footlong but you get by fine with your 3 incher
What's the point of a co-pilot really?
Safety. You need to double check things. you need to use the bathroom during long flights, what if the pilot gets sick or dies from an unexpected ailment, etc.
Imagine We Gaaan but with Nathan Fielder
No you don't understand, overtime laws in Holland where KLM is located would make things very difficult for my crew if you don't let us take off soon.
Pan Am is ahead of you
Okay
no i don't
did you watch the show? all the examples of the crashed airliners had the copilots recognizing something was wrong but ultimately letting the pilot kill everyone. maybe if they took over they still would have all died, but that isnt the point. I think the bigger problem though is the hubris of the pilot and not the lack of assertiveness from the copilot. the whole being friends thing is just a joke for the show
that's a shame
i genuinely don't understand how someone cannot like nathan for you. all his other work can be brushed off as artsy fartsy but nfy is genuinely one of the most hilarious tv shows ever made
no difference in quality at all lmao
okay i will try
Check the plane, make calls about the course during flight when there’s weather issues, plenty of stuff. It’s not like you can eliminate the human pilot just because you automate things. In fact as we’ve seen the automation sometimes does wrong things
it's only twice the res! how silly
and what a big difference it makes....
Sully is an extraordinary one in a million occurrence. It is not normal to decide to do a water landing. And yes the co-pilot can be a fuckup but so can the fucking captain. That’s why there needs to be communication
ask your wife
I'm an airline pilot. Is that something special or something?
A job is a job
hello Dan!
youtube.com
She's at work but I don't think she would see a difference in the quality of the webms.
The planes fly themselves. You dial in a heading and press a button, and the plane flies straight in that direction. Heck, even approaches and 90% of the landing can be done without touching the yoke, you just dial a new heading and adjust throttle for altitude. Big planes also land themselves softly thanks to their massive ground effect. If you make it easy for yourself (which Nathan can by choosing to fly in optimal conditions) it's very easy. Basically the only test of skill for is if you put yourself in a situation (or your airline/job does) with adverse weather, icing, high crosswinds etc and Nathan had none of that.
Nathan Fielder has the money for that out of pocket, career pilots finance their training often through an airline.
Aren’t airline planes almost entirely autopilot at this point?
Pretty much. One company requires its pilots to switch on autopilot at 1,000 feet after taking off and keep it on until landing. Autopilot can also land planes but the only problem is it lands on the exact same spot and quickly ruins the runway.
I'm catching up today. Finale is gonna be wild
Different flavor of autism is still autism
Also being autistic does not mean you can't also be an asshole
Also it sounds like he got banned because he blatantly said "no trannies" on his profile; he would have figured out a smarter way to say if he wasn't autistic
You have to be a first officer for a few years before you are a captain on any real airline, so it's not really anyone's first time
That depends. Which end did you try? Did you use lube?
the number of David Kruger effect in this thread is hairilous
Yeah it's not impressive, it's why he covers it in a montage and the funny part of the bit is him trying to get access to a 747 because besides the specific loophole he exploits, you're required to have a certain amount of flight time
Genuinely the best thing on TV right now, probably since Andy Kaufman beat up women in the boxing ring
Legend status assured
i wasn't being sarcastic, i mean it
the guy clearly didn't know the concept of boundaries
he even mentioned that he discussed his sex life with his dad
that's the type of brutal honesty that you can expect from autists
crashed airliners had the copilots recognizing something was wrong but ultimately letting the pilot kill everyone.
what if the co-pilot is the one thats wrong ? If planes still had three pilots in the cockpit you could let them vote on a course of action.
As an example the Flight 587 accident the co-pilot was flying the plane after takeoff and they hit turbulence and the co-pilot tried to use the planes rudder in an unconventional way to smooth the turbulence and broke the damn rudder off and killed everybody. The captain knew he was fucking up.
sorry I thought you were being sarcastic
that guy's personality reminds me of giga-autists I know, he just happens to not look like a hobgoblin and have a sexy job
Man Nathan is so fucking based.
Hope it gets renewed for S3 so HBO can keep funding his madness.
Because flying an empty 737 is fucking expensive, did you watch the episode?
How many pilots would we need per plane to have a quorum?
I think 9 at least
Nobody is captain on their first voyage. HBO just has enough money and lawyers to make it happen.
The autopilot doesn't do takeoff nor final approach and landing for a start, which are the riskiest and most stressful parts of it. Sure it handles a big chunk of the flight once your up in the air and flying in a mostly straight line, but that's under the assumption that literally nothing unexpected happens. Not alarm raised, no technical issue, no faggot in another plane getting in your way and fucking up your flight plan, and the list goes on. The pilot is very much needed.
This whole season was just a way to scam HBO into paying for his training and certifications.
Look up how much all of that shit costs, it's very expensive.
It's pretty impressive when your actual career is something else entirely and you trained for it as the setup for an epic prank where you fly a 737 as part of an episode on your show.
So he can go from being a millionaire showrunner/actor to being a commercial airline pilot making $150k/year?
Nah this was obviously something he was interested in.
I'm sure it started with the concept of
What if I flew a plane on tv?
And snowballed from there.
who says he's flying
could be the other guy
could be an empty desert and private planes
Did you watch the end of the episode where Nathan got a job flying empty 747s?
It seems feasible for them to find empty planes that need to be moved when a pilot wants to get certified.
I mean, good for him. I'd do the same in his place.
It is an empty desert and private planes. He hired a bunch of actors to get around regulations so he could fly with only 200 hours of flight time on single engine planes.
No, because it's fun and he didn't want to pay for it.
Accurate. The whole season could be seen as a NFY episode of someone tricking a TV network into paying for their piloting license.
Relatively cheap compared to typical TV budgets.
It was a private plane. It's mentioned in the episode. He didn't actually join an airline so he can't fly a commercial flight with paying passengers, but he found some loophole that allows him to fill the plane with passengers if they're here as actors for his show.
As to the plane itself, he leased a decommissioned 737 from some broker.
He's definitely flying it though.
It's pretty impressive he filmed all of the Rehearsal and The Curse while also studying to become a pilot in his free time.
Someone on reddit said he didn't actually have the actors on board when he flew and I believed it. He said he found the flight log and it was the were no passengers on board. The actors acted, there was no shots of them for landing and there's no sign of them in any of the windows in the flyby shots here.
maybe they didn't have to be logged as passengers because they're actors.
I could go either way.
I don't think not seeing people in the windows is evidence of anything considering HBO and Nathan would be smart enough to fill the windows with dummies if they didn't have actual passengers.
And the flight log being empty might be a way for Nathan to get around the FDA. They'd argue that they're technically not passengers.
But then Nathan also talks about magic and slight of hand in the same episode and that could be tipping people off that it wasn't real.
better than wasting it on more gritty makeup for garbage like the last of us or whatever astroturfed flavor of the month tripe HBO wants to blow money on next ; they just need to accept that will never have a game of thrones again : (
Being able to get your aviation license isn't actually all that hard. The only reason most people don't have it is because its expensive. Nathan could probably afford it on his own but in this case he got HBO to pay for it.
The dude from Iron Maiden also pilots their own plane as a hobby
didn't he start working on that 2 years ago? I think that would've been when the curse released.
Watched the first two episodes and there isn't even an attempt at comedy. I just don't get it, Nathan 4 U is hilarious on the other hand
v4c
jesus that place is still around
filtered by nathankino
many such cases
episode 3 is amazing and hilarious.
then 4 and 5 are mid but 6 is great.
Netanyahu?
The autism episode is the best of the season
CANT WAKE UP
im glad the voice girl was the winner, the runner up did a cover of Bring Me to Life and it was pretty bad. her voice was very indie music (not sure how else to explain) and not clear
I really wanted to see the results of his brain scan because I fully expected it to say he is an autist and a neurotic Jew with anxiety disorder.
What's the point of a co-pilot really?
Hes the one actually flying the plane, Captain handles Nav
He's a legitimate licensed 737 pilot now? Fucking kek
yeah, in the season finale he flies a 737 full of passengers
Get in here lads, absolute kino
redditors actually found his certification online months ago, his fanbase really is autistic
Autopilot wont navigate through squall lines
I'm sure season 3 will be about curing autism
If its so easy explain a nothernly turn error
accidentally recreates the plane scene
not one single hacky 9/11 joke
based
You just need the money and the time to practice
You missing out the part where you have to pass an oral exam where you have to recite this regs book by memory
I love watching shit with pepe gifs spammed in a chat window thanks zoomers
Do u ever get the stewardessess to suck on your cock?
Pilots were like celebrities when commercial airlines became affordable and available to everyone. Boomers see you as gods
This works on my phone but not on my desktop browser
This guy has had a crazy glowup. Suddenly got hot in his 40s
aren't pilots up there with veterans with how much the boomers respect them?
check out his motivational poster
EPISODE TWO about to play, get in here lads v4c.fun
ATC lets people fly however they want
LOL this guy is full of shit
He was always hot. He just needed to grow his hair out.
What did ghandi win, exactly? His nation is a shithole and will forever remain a shithole
Literally not a single person on the planet knows of what his "accomplishments" are beside that he was a skinny mf
everyone know about the salt walk bruh
youtube.com
They finally reuploaded his old letterman interview, its kind of interesting to see because he's not really in character for it and you can tell he's kind of shy but trying to be a good guest, he also uncharacteristically laughs quite a bit during it.
What?
Actual 10/10 television, what a time to be alive
Literally not a single person on the planet knows of what his "accomplishments" are beside that he was a skinny mf
everyone knows about the salt walk bruh
cute fucker
what emotion was he feeling at the end though?
Autism denial.
man I pissed off Comedy Central, Paramount+ and now HBO
I hope FX gives me a show
him slowly realizing he's autistic might have been my favorite bit kek
Door city over here.
So they made it so exclusively only autists can become pilots? Sort of checks out
I think you're probably along the right lines and that, if tested, you'd find the majority of all pilots were on the spectrum. But not technically all of them
is becoming a pilot still worth it or will AI and automation make it obsolete soon?
I don't think humans are ever going to trust AI to fly their planes and even if they do take over there's always going to be a pilot in the cockpit that can take manual control at any time
I'm pretty confident AI will never take over piloting.
Even if it's proven to be much safer than human pilots, people will reject it.
and now HBO
I'd be very surprised if this wasn't one of hbo's most watched shows of the year
Hospitality is what separates us from the animals... don't you agree?
He said that on his spare time now he flies decommissioned 737s from one airport to another, so I guess it's a job.
you're taking that too literally, autist, it was obviously training for the show and he's almost certainly not done it since they filmed that episode
Nathan checking out that busted 737 and being told it was in perfectly workable condition has to be one of his best bits.
he would fly his family in that!
what was the point of this season?
he didn't achieve any change in the relationship of pilots at all
I think it genuinely started with
Wouldn't it be ridiculous if I flew a plane on tv
And they worked backwards from there
getting a license doesn't matter, just having that doesn't guarantee you're getting hired by a commercial airline. they have their own stringent criteria before they'll let you fly people. nathan could fly people because he paid them and they all signed releases, they aren't just random travellers
hilarious
I don't understand how anyone can say this. It's fascinating and well put together but it's not funny. It's just fucking awkward.
NFY?
Or the Rehearsal?
Except he exploited a whole bunch of loop holes and cut as many corners as possible.
Aeurnautical Knowlege Handbook
Airplane Flying Handbook
Aviation Weather Handbook
FAR/AIM book
Oral Exam Prep
Its a shit ton of reading you have to do and thats just the private level, its not something you can just do on a whim like normies think. My CFI oral exam was 4 hours
No. Airplane automation is pretty dumb and unlikely to get better due to how much time and money it takes to certify new things.
Autopilot is glorified cruise control aka 70s tech.
Eh whatever
David Kruger
lol
You can’t understand how someone finds different things funny than you? Are you autistic?
Suddenly
He started comedy writing in 2006. So yeah, 19 years of non stop hard work = "suddenly" i guess.
I used to watch his show "Important Things" in 2010 on SBS in Australia, and i didn't even realise he was the guy writing it but i knew it was different and weird in some sort of unique way.
you might be autistic
The guy flying the plane has worked on tons of films doing stuff like this, they were in good hands.
this just seem like pilots coping
Yeah I wish I didn’t see that, kind of spoiled the finale for me. Still a great episode though, the best of the season.
Don’t you think the earth looks really flat when you look down from that height?
season 3
Nathan becomes an astronaut to prove the earth is round
You’re wrong on both counts. I wouldn’t be the first to try out an AI powered plane, but if it’s been out long enough and the results show it’s safer, I’m 100% on board. And I’m sure others will too.
The problem is if one plane crashed with the AI software then people inherently distrust that software even if it was updated to fix the issue or it wasn't technically the AI's fault.
Whereas if one pilot crashes a plane then they take all the blame and never fly again.
I’m just going to have to disagree with you on this. But there’s no way to prove it either way without a poll or something.
All it took for me was to hear about the 2015 crash with the pilot that was depressed and decided to crash the plane with no survivors to not want to trust a human doing a job like this. I’d sooner have a robot take it over. Plus hijackers have less leverage with nonhuman pilots.
it's funny that he has so many autistic fans but there's also a very vocal group of autists who don't understand the show
A lot of people really like Nathan from NFY which was much more straight forward. The Rehearsal is a comedy show but it's also about Nathan himself and his relationship with his audience. Finding Frances is the most disliked episode of NFY and it's also the closet to The Rehearsal.
Finding Frances is fantastic and IIRC 1 of only 2 times Nathan broke on camera
youtu.be
Back in the 80s... when we started our computers...
Finding Frances was so good. I didn't realize it was disliked.
Finding Frances is literally one of the top rated episodes of the show...
I love you
I wanna see him bring back NFY characters
I wanna see him go meta^3 and rehearse himself doing this show and build a replica of the replica
I want fake Nathan to take over for a full episode
I want fake Nathan to take over for a full episode
The final season is going to be about that with the season finale reveal being that the real Nathan had a plane accident that heavily deformed his face and ability to walk and the Nathan we have seen during the rehearsal is just an actor acting as him 24/07 since the accident.
He needs to bring back the Nathan impersonators
this doesn't seem farfetched
That would explain how he got so damn hot in his 40s.
If HBO was willing to spend the money then it's actually a workable premise.
Episode 1 Nathan climbs Everest to see if the earth has curvature
Episode 2 Nathan goes to the north pole
etc
Bro climbing Everest is a massive task lmao
More people have climbed everest than there are pilots
Source
I made it up.
Final season should be a courtroom trial rehearsal of Nathan getting sued by HBO for wasting their money to become a pilot.
This faggot should be burned alive
Need it. Except instead of The Trial of Tim Heidecker, Nathan actually goes to prison at the end.
Nathan is my favorite person on tv.
tfw wanted to be pilot
stupid parents got me tested for ADHD as a child
can never be a pilot now
nathan tells me there's something wrong with me
I should just end it
Wrong message anon.
There is very clearly a lot of things wrong with Nathan.
But he still became a pilot by lying to the FAA.
Would he rehearsal getting butt fuck and stabbed before actually going to jail
"If you're here, you must be fine",
I interpreted his message at the end two different ways:
Inspiring:
You put in the training and time and got the experience to make it to the cockpit. So you're capable of the job regardless of what issues you may or may not have. Believe in yourself.
Cynical:
You have to pretend or lie to yourself about whatever problems you have to be a pilot.
Either way you can be autistic and be a pilot and many pilots are.
