That is a valid question. Supervisors rarely if ever get a chance to fly at my unit. There was even a time when supervisors could not be a PIC. I said I was a good pilot. Not necessarily a good middle manager. Did it as a temp. Not doing it again.
No organization is changed from the bottom up. Our current leaders need to be leaders. They need to do the job they applied for. I fly the airplanes and risk life and limb. They support us and take care of us. Watch our back, make sure we get paid, etc.
I realize they are gripes. If I thought I could make a difference and still fly, Id do it. I applied for SAIA at a different branch. A DAO I respect heard about it. Called me and talked me out of it. He regretted moving up.
Lets not forget, we all get the boot at 57. That means I still need to find a job at 57, and still need a maintain a resume. But I hope to retire at 20 like most everyone else. A promotion is a poor aviation career move.
