It has become obvious in my years of flying, that aviation attracts the 'bottom of the barrel' management types. They all love saying they are in management at an airline because it sounds good to people who don't know any better but the fact of the matter is that it is not a desirable job for someone of ability and intelligence.
We are condemned to be led by people who have generally not been successful in their first choice of careers which says a great deal about their abilities.
Even moderately decent and smart human-beings eventually fall in line with the mentality at HQ. It is almost inevitable.
