I care more about getting someone who is an open thinker, active learner, & works well in teams. UAL is a complex operation & most people understand it through a limited lens. Better to have someone who can take input from multiple groups & balance it all in his/her head than to necessarily choose the person with the perfectly balanced cross-section of individual experience, in my opinion.
