Unlikely.So they really can't ANYONE who cares about the company....? I find it hard to believe. Would that change the industry?
You'll find that people who are interested in aviation because they truly love it don't ever go very far in the management end. They get pilot's licenses, buy a small airplane to play in, and work in another industry.
The American Aviation Industry is in the last dying spiral. It will never again be what it once was, and we will probably see its demise in our own lifetimes. We simply have too many things working against us, and the large root of the problem is CEO's who are all about the money and have no true interest in the industry.
If you really want that kind of life, then like one of the above posters said, it's not an easy gig to get. Going to a top 5 school to get your MBA, making the contacts that will get you in the door, including good political contacts for later use, then manage them very, very carefully at the opportune times.
It's an art more than science, and is so lucrative that it should be illegal, considering that the huge payouts are usually borne on the back of labor.
