Either that, or they went down the seniority list untill they found someone so desperate for a managerial position, that they willingly "bent over" to become part of the club!
Actually, just kidding. It is more probable that the job went to a qualified outsider. But one has to ask. If it did go to a qualified outsider, why the need to buy an endorsement in the first place? One would think that if DJ were to go down that path, extensive 777 experience would be a requirement? So many questions????
Then again.... see paragraph 1?
