Wonder what the % of pilots who leave the line every year to take up management positions within the airline.

None. Why? Because if a well educated and determined pilot got into management this industry would be making money.

Nice find. This is my favorite quote from the whole thing:

"We went from a smallish, well-run, obscenely profitable airline that knew it's market to a huge company owned and managed by N.Y. bankers and MBA types that never loaded a bag or pulled a chock, and perfumed princes who I wouldn't hire to mow my lawn because they'd hold too many meetings about how to use the starter rope"

I think that pretty much sums it up.
