Leadership is a choice. It's not a rank, it's a choice. I know many people who are at the top of their organization who have authority.

Pilots, to a large degree, are like salesmen. They have to be confident to be good at their jobs. They have to practice relentlessly and plan out all the scenarios of the things that could happen when they're out there. Nothing is more important than preparation. They are also mighty competitive, both as individuals and as squadrons.

Anyone can sell product by dropping their prices, but it does not breed loyalty.
