What if you're a manager that has to do that?
An MBA is highly credited advice. I'd say you're looking more at a Director/VP position with the MBA vs. manager (for which the aviation masters is sufficient).
Another avenue is teaching. That's why I got my masters in the first place. The jobs are incredibly hard to get though which is why I'm not currently doing that, lol.
