I would have to disagree a bit with this one, I had a really good middle management job climbing the corporate ladder. I was having beers with the big boss one day and asked about their decision to hire me, he said “I figured if you could fly planes you were smart enough for this job.”
I did have to convince them I wasn’t going to leave them to the airlines when things got better. I wasn’t lying, but I did end up leaving them to fly.
