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.

Does scott turner dislike the president?
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.
