    I would have just said no, but I don’t know if military can do that:

    “The personnel action was reversed, though, when it was determined that no other pilot was immediately available to operate the aircraft for the return flight.”

        I imagine that would be a career-limiting decision for a military pilot.

        If he instead acts “professionally”, which means putting up with her bullshit for the rest of the day, then he has a decent chance of getting quickly reassigned to a role where he doesn’t have to deal with her again.

          reassigned to a role where he doesn’t have to deal with her again.

          Which , I’m sure, would make him very happy.

        He should fly the plane like he’s eluding fighter jets or SAMs. Maybe throw in a barrel roll or two. Definitely should go hard on takeoff and landing.

      Unfair to Linus, who is a kind and caring individual. For instance young Snoopy often stole his blanket and he never shot the puppy.

    Makes me wonder if blanket transfer is on the checklist. I know pilots rely a lot of checklists, so if it wasn’t on the list, then the checklist maker is the one at fault and should immediately self-report to Leavenworth to await general court martial and inevitable incarceration.

    Finally they’re doing something about the corruption in the Coast Guard!
