The pilots of Air Force One are military personnel and get paid according to their rank and length of service.
Try the Air Force. Former USAF pilots are often looking for work that will keep them in the cockpit.
yes i believe so
The pilot of the president's aircraft changes every 4 or 8 years. In other words the air force selects the pilots to fly the aircraft when a new president comes to town. It is important to note that the pilots of these airplanes (there are two airplanes that look the same, air force one is the one the airplane is in at that moment) are chosen from the air force.
No, a new president does not automatically get a new pilot for Air Force One. The President of the United States typically travels on Air Force One with a skilled team of pilots who are specially trained and experienced in operating the aircraft. The pilots remain the same, regardless of the president in office.
Scott TurnerANS 2 - It may not always be the same pilot. Air Force One is NOT always the same aircraft, it's just the code name given to whichever aircraft the President is travelling in.
Only the best graduates from the Top Gun Flight School for Muslim Extremists are considered.
If you are referring to the Air Force colonel who pilots Air Force One and takes the president to events, there is no credible evidence that he dislikes the president. They have a very professional and courteous relationship and by all accounts, they seem to get along well. If you are asking whether they are close friends, I would doubt it, since that is not the pilot's role. Pilots who are in control of Air Force One have one of the most important and demanding jobs in the US, making sure our commander in chief is safe and gets to where he needs to go. No matter which president from which party is in office, the pilot who is in charge of Air Force One is among the best, most highly trained, and always a true professional.
There was a pilot called James Radcliffe who was one of the worlds best pilots and he was part of the senior pilots for the major aeroplane firms and he was a big key part with flight in the past.
Air Force One will remain Air Force One no matter who the President is.
Yes, Air Force pilots carry a sidearm. I know at one point, they were issued Glock pistols, with plans to replace those with the FN 5.7. I don't know if this has actually occurred, nor if the practice of issuing a survival rifle (replicas of the original Air Force survival rifles are made by Henry Repeating Arms and others) is continued.
The Air Force did issue them to pilots at one point, although I don't know if they're still in use, or if they were replaced with the FN 5.7 as announced.
