I think we can read CFM's 'not in the least' comment to indicate that he is stuck in the RHS in a large company, with long prospects for command, if at all.
One must ask, if this were not the case, why would he even be replying to posts about a small (but profitable) mid-east charter carrier?
Or, he might well have been rejected for employment, as that would explain his extreme negative attitude.
OTOH, in CFM's case, 'kite' may well be closer to the truth...
