You'll be happy to learn that our HR department is doing a terrible job, then. Many Union positions have been filled with former interns but I can't think of any in management.

Also, many are 2nd/3rd/4th generation airline employees, and know more about what airline life is like than a standard new hire.

Glad I could cheer you up!
