Perhpas...management pilots need to stay firmly in the office, or...have a bit more regular line flying experience.
Depends on what the management pilot does. If he gives line checks all the time he (she) is probably fine. If, however, he/she is a "chief pilot" office paper shuffler, then watch out.

At my airline the latter type usually were smart enough to assign a "F/O" to their occasional currency flight who was, in fact, a sharp check airman.
