Most upper management doesn't have the foggiest idea what it takes to fly the airplanes that make their money. They prove it by the way they treat the crewmembers, maintenance guys and flight attendants. They'll do whatever it takes to get the flight in the air, then blame the problems on the crew. There are exceptions, but they're few and far between, and I haven't heard of any lately.
