The first female pilot to head the Air Combat Command F-16 Viper demonstration team was relieved of command Monday due to a “loss of confidence” in her ability to lead, the Air Force said.

Capt. Zoe Kotnik was removed from her position after two weeks, Col. Derek O’Malley, the 20th Fighter Wing commander, said in a statement.

“I removed Capt. Kotnik from her position as the commander of the Viper Demo team [Monday], because I lost confidence in her ability to lead the team.” O’Malley said. “I know that loss of confidence is a common response from the Air Force, whenever someone is removed from a command position, and I think it’s important to understand why we take this approach.”


quote:

O’Malley alluded to Kotnik making mistakes but did not further elaborate on exactly what led to her being relieved of her duties. He said he hoped Kotnik will continue to serve the Air Force despite the incident.

Pressed for further details, O'Malley indicated that Kotnik wouldn't stop texting while flying.

I volunteer my services to aid her in restoring her confidence. For my country, of course.

No clue if this is true or not, but someone left this comment on their official Instagram page:

quote:

She prob slept with another married man. When my hubs and I first got married, she would constantly text him and try to get him to fly to FL to visit her for a weekend


We’ll never know the truth (rightfully so), but I wouldn’t rule out foul play

Of course people are already starting the whole ‘yea but if she wasn’t a woman’ shite.. identity politics are fricking retarded.. my thing is, if she would have been promoted for the right reasons (not for diversity’s sake), then this wouldn’t have ever happened.. two weeks is all it took for there to be a ‘loss of confidence’? Who fricking promoted this chick?

Commanders with obama admin mindset. This wouldnt have happened under obama. Trump is hopefully helping take the PC bullshite out of the military.
