The boss in the main is, CP, TRE and in some instances the maintenance engineer. Add to that all the many training schools, you will find the world is full of self employed pilots, looking up at the contrails of the airline machines and breathing a sigh of relief that they are where they are down below and not up there ticking off the days to retirement.
