Many would make horrible CEOs. But there are some that would. Jack Frye, Head of TWA was an excellent exception. TWA, “The Airline Run By Flyers”.
“Welcome abroad, this is your TWA President speaking. I will be flying you out of Kansas City this morning to our next stop. Assisting me to today is Paul Richter, your TWA Executive Vice President, and fellow Captain. Should we need an extra hand, our owner, Howard Hughes, is on board and stands ready to assist.”
They were credited with turning TWA into a World Class Airline.
