Totally agree. back then the managers were pilots first and managers second. They could all fly and loved flying. Contrast this with the bunch we have now. Most are well below average flyingwise( look how many only got commands on their second attempt ) and fly as little as possible prefering to sit at a desk and micro manage the policies dictated from above. Pathetic crowd.I well remember one guy ( still up there ) told me he was applying for a management job because his wife wanted him to have weekends free to look after the kids while she did yoga classes. Pathetic.
