Summary
A TikTok user, @ihurrrrr, shared a video about their American Airlines flight being delayed due to the pilot being too tired to fly. The passengers had already boarded the plane when they were told to get off. The user questioned how the situation occurred, but later clarified that there may have been more to the story. Pilot fatigue is a legitimate safety concern in aviation, and federal regulations limit how long pilots can work and require them to get a minimum rest period before their next assignment.
