Huck accurately described in a nutshell what the situation is at another major US airline-based FAR from Texas.
Other than one or two present/former US airline CEOs who have some experience flying multi-engine airplanes, the rest of them are simply number-crunchers with no interest in aviation. Number/data-crunching require no people skills.
Therefore, leadership is usually quite absent.
Their (often) totally callous/arrogant attitudes towards their staff have reaped this harvest. If you think this is bad, just talk to pilots who have flown RJs for two (or more) or the smaller airlines for a few years. They are unable to ever hire enough pilots. They are always far behind.
Hundreds leave for jobs at better companies which often pay about the same.
