"airlines should have pilots at the forefront. Simply because they understand what the business is all about"

Problem is that most pilots have no idea of airline economics beyond costs and 'bean counting'.

Ask any one of them how to reduce costs (ok) whilst at the same time maximising revenue and you'll be met with a blank stare.

It surely ain't cost per seat ? Revenue management, what's that ?
