Partly agreed, but the other part is that those who do have the necessary expertise still exist but often don't crow about it, so that those who are good at crowing but little else get the managment jobs!
But my point is that whilst we have a culture that paper is king, and good judgment is deemed unimportant, we will continue to have these problems. It is of course a general ill of society not limited to helicopter operators.
