So this really only would work in a game where Boomer wasn't the only pilot...

but has anyone tried to first round go to the Press Room, stock up on Yellow cards and try to become president?

If Boomer's president her disadvantage stings a little less as she can rot in the brig after the sleeper phase, mill crisis cards, and still do president-y things.

Like I said, if you're the only pilot its rough to set this up as chances are the fleet might need your help, but I think it's worth a try...
