Grounded a/c are the only things these types understand. What has amazed me over the years is how these types of managers float around the world popping up in new start ups who need "candidates with previous experience and proven track record." If their background check was subjected to half what a pilot applicant's is I wonder how many would be able to continue their style of management as a globe-trotting Dracula. Employee morale does not seem to appear on any manger's job description.
