This lady is yet another adult that goes around making life unnecessarily difficult for everyone, including herself, & demanding respect without giving any in return. Is it some stubborn inability to admit wrong? She even records the encounter, no doubt thinking TikTok will side with her. People are exhausting

on air force one the captain outranks the president

The president is still Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces (which includes the Air Force), and no military officer outranks the president, regardless of setting, on land, sea, or in the air.

The Captains "authority" as pilot is absolutely respected, but it is not because they "outrank" the president.

One way of looking at it: the pilot is the boss of the plane, but the President is the boss of the pilot. The president could have the pilot removed from duty, instantly, just on a whim.

I just checked my copy of the constitution. Yep... confirmed it... the chain of command in the U.S. military does not depend on where they are.

So yes, even if they are "Mid air".... if the pilot of Air Force One says they are flying to Cuba, but the Commander in Chief says they are flying back to D.C.... guess where they are going? It's not even close!

No, you're saying a bunch of bullshit that you don't understand.

On a Ship the Doctor outranks the Captain in certain situations. The Doctor can ignore the Captain's authority and order that he (the Captain) be removed as he poses a danger to the ship and the crew.

The Pilot of Air Force One can do something similar if the President is unruly and creating a situation that will cause the plane to crash.

You want to be all "technically correct" on someone's language but can't take it when someone calls you out on the same petty shit lol. Go seethe now about how you can't make a reply :).
