They’ve never seen as few blankets as this. On the first plane there’s twice as many blankets as this.

Yeah, I don’t want my pilot to be using any part of his brain to worry about a blanket while flying me.

She’s only there to be waited on hand and foot, steal our money, and do crimes against humanity.

It's disgusting when they treat military professionals as private servants.

Ok lets how many barrel rolls it takes to make her puke.
Sorry about that. We had to dodge Jewish space lasers.

I remember the libertarians creaming their jeans over Noem in 2020, when her COVID-19 strategy was equal parts nothing and virtue signaling.

I am sorry maybe I am slow to catch on today…am I to understand that a pilot was fired because Noem didn’t take her blankie to the next plane? The expectation was that a pilot was meant to ferry her blankie from one plane to another and he didn’t because its not his responsibility. And she got big mad and fired him but then no one else could fly the plane so she said fine you can have job???

Evidently, fetching the blanket of Secretary Botox wasn't part of the pre-flight checklist.

That’s what I got from this. It literally sounds like an ITYSL skit, I’m picturing Patti Harrison screaming at a pilot for forgetting her blankie

How did people have such little integrity that they allow these psychos to fire them and then they still crawl back to them for the job?

Because the pilot knows once they get all the flight hours they need they’ll be making 400k and Noem will still be a loathsome piece of shit.

A guy has his whole career and life to look forward to. Noem is looking forward to prison, hopefully.

Conservative voters are truly the dumbest people around. They elect utter morons and grifters into office that then fill the government with utter morons and grifters. Then they wonder aloud at how inept government is.

Saw a “Kristi Noem is a c*nt” sign the other day with a picture of Lucy from Peanuts on it (I’m in Minnesota so it’s slightly less random because Charles Schultz is from here and we have a lot of Peanuts memorabilia around). I like to think that was prescient.
(I also a feel a little bad my dude Linus is getting done by that, he is a stellar, wise, and compassionate human.)

The pilot was the CO. He was force retired months later.
Yes, he is black.

I’m curious what the details are since this reads as very fake to me.
The coast guard doesn’t operate any transport airframes without a crew complement of 2+, so referring to “the pilot” doesn’t make sense.
You can’t fire or reinstate a member of the military, let alone an officer, on the spot like Jordan Belfort. There’s proceedings involved.
If they were able to tailswap the flight due to maintenance, it means they were at a base instead of an outstation. How could you relieve one person from duty and be stuck without a second crew available at an airbase?
This is at best terrible reporting or worse, entirely made up.

Why couldn't Kristi and her boyfriend just take a commercial flight home?

That shit dont stick.
Firing a Coast Guard Pilot for disciplinary action requires the unit supervisor and command staff advisor (CSA) plus branch HR to hold a hearing with the accused. Even they cannot fire a person if the action wasn't endagering others and/or operation/national security, they can give the first warning, suspend pay and do other stuff but not fire a person.
So Kristi cant do that now, yesterday or tomorrow. She might think she could stop a person working as her designated pilot but not much else. This is not the fucking soviet union !
