I’d say it is indicative of the calibre of person running these organisations nowadays. Look at how much they pay. Anybody with a bit of nous doesn’t go in aviation or government. As for piloting jobs, I reckon many of us are probably on the spectrum to some extent to be attracted to a job that relies on a particular skill set. That skill set isn’t necessarily the same skill set to be a good manager or executive.
Sure, there are always exceptions to the rule.
