And this, in my humble opinion, is why the force has lost all trust and respect in senior leaders. Leading from the "front" is a trait that is long gone, especially when it can negatively impact their bottomline. While a different era, I can't imagine a true leader of men, such as Robin Olds, pulling such a selfish and individually motivated policy. We no longer expect senior leaders to be in the lead aircraft (or any aircraft for that matter), but there is truth to the theory that "leaders eat last". Sadly, it appears leadership has forgotten this principle.
