that is but one good example that there were and still are good and capable in mas. some left and some stayed back and both for various reasons but also worth noting that quite a few left because they did not want to be managed by sub standard managers spewing out policies that gets nowhere fast.
however contrary to cote babe the issue is not degrees or mba or phd's, richard branson doesnt have a degree, steve jobs doesnt have a degree.
the issue really is using your brains to do what you are paid to do and i believe pilots are smart people infact better that arts stream management types with degrees in sastra melayu and the likes and then put into positions to run a division in an airline
the issue is whether or not you are promoted because of your ability to have vision and ability to contribute and not because you are nice to some people
one of the perenial reasons mas is not getting anywhere is the refusal to accept reality and the inability or refusal to change (really cant put my finger on which one) examples abound on that point; one is with the whole world going it around them mas still does not embrace it fully but instead only using computers as a paper copy.
in other airlines staff can book and buy tickets online saving tons of money mas still insists for staff to head out to the office and take a number to get a ticket. manuals and circulars are another example and dont even want to get started on crew rostering and how its being done now, that after having spent millions.
there are lots more but am not going to spent time teaching them how to do their work after all they are the ones with the degrees.
