Can't honestly say I blame them - how can you train somebody to manage in an industry they don't yet know anything about?

I am currently at Cranfield on the MSc for Aerospace Vehicle Design, and 75 of the 80 students are not British. French make up the biggest majority, and Indians the second largest, with a good shown from just about everywhere else!

The startling thing is the number of students who have absolutely no aircraft experience, or degree. Plenty of electronics or mechatronics, but virtually no aerospace. Weird...
