Pilots in senior management
As an airline pilot that has ended up in the halls of academia I was curious about colleagues that have climbed the corporate ladder. Anyone know of other former airline pilots turned CEO or other senior management? I know pilots inhabit the training department and chief pilot positions but what about higher?
I know that the BA head was a former pilot at Aer Lingus.
Also, the CEO of TWA right before AA took it over was a captain. Actually, flew the final TWA flight.
Any others?
