This is exactly why aviation is in it's present predicament.Run by people who have absolutely zero knowledge of the industry,what it does and what it needs.There will be no improvement until there is political will and the appointment of people with expertise in the industry.Unfortunately,this will only happen after a major accident or incident which forces the politicians to respond.In the meantime the industry will blunder along with an ever decreasing revealence to the daily lives of most people in society.It's only we in the industry who care.
